Dial the emergency number 112 immediately

1. Do not try to hold the child’s body down.
2. Protect the child from possible injuries, especially the head.
3. If the child vomits, turn them onto their side to prevent choking.
4. If the child has a fever, you can place cooling compresses on the chest and calves and undress the child or remove the diaper.

After the seizure:

1. Talk to the child and touch them to check if they are responsive.
2. If the child responds to talking and is awake, create a calm and low-stimulation environment so they can rest.
3. If the child does not respond, check their breathing.
4. If breathing is normal, place the child in the recovery position.
5. If breathing is not normal, begin resuscitation if necessary.

During a seizure, it is important to remain calm and carry out the above measures as best as possible to help the child as effectively as possible.
