 Seizures
 
  • Most seizures in people who have epilepsy and in children with high fevers do not need medical care. If you see someone having a convulsive seizure without other problems, Do "First Aid for Convulsive Seizures" listed above. (A person with epilepsy may wear a medic alert bracelet or neckchain with epilepsy written on it or he or she may have epilepsy written on a card or driver's license in his or her wallet or purse. Look for one.)

    Also, if the seizure is due to a fever, lower the person's temperature as soon as the seizure stops

    • Sponge the body with lukewarm water.

    • Do not use rubbing alcohol.

    • Do not use ice because it drops the temperature too fast.

    • Do not put the person in a bathtub.
