Epileptic seizure at school - what should the teacher do?

School, teacher

Parents of a child who suffers from epilepsy should inform the school the child attends.

Ad:

This type of information, like that about medication, should not be withheld. Many parents do not inform the teachers of their child's condition, and the teachers do not know what happens to the child when he suddenly turns blue, falls, becomes stiff, convulses and has saliva in his mouth.

At this time, the teacher should remain calm, reassure the children who are in the classroom and provide assistance to the sick child. In a situation where he/she does not know what to do, he/she should call for help (but cannot leave the child who is having a seizure).

The educator should not stop the seizure, forcefully straighten the limbs, press the child's body to the floor, put anything in the mouth, give drinks to drink. What he or she can do is to protect the head from injury, remove glasses if the child is wearing them, loosen clothing at the neck. Once the convulsions have stopped, do not forcibly strangle the child, place them in the safe fixed position, clear the airway and silently wait for the arrival of the ambulance.
