Understand that after a seizure, the primary concern is ensuring the person's airway remains open and that they can breathe properly.
Recognize that placing the person in the recovery position helps keep the airway clear and prevents choking, especially if they vomit or have excess saliva.
Monitor the person's breathing and level of consciousness continuously until they regain full awareness to ensure no further medical intervention is needed.
Avoid giving the person food or water immediately after the seizure, as they may have difficulty swallowing, which could lead to choking.
Do not restrain the person or leave them alone, as this could cause harm or delay necessary assistance.
