What to do if your child suddenly convulses and faints

Because children's physical development is not yet fully mature, their body resistance is relatively poor. In this case, if preventive measures are not taken well and in a timely manner, once symptoms of the disease occur, the child will feel great pain. So you must pay special attention to it in normal times. So what should you do if your child suddenly convulses and faints? Let’s talk about it below.

When a child has convulsions, parents should stay calm and not panic. They should do the following: 1. Let the child lie on his side and put a pillow under the child's head to avoid collision. 2. Loosen tight collars or any clothing that surrounds the neck and affects breathing. 3. If there is a foreign object in the child's mouth, it can be removed easily by lying on the side. Otherwise, never put anything (such as a spoon or your own fingers) into the patient's mouth to avoid further harm to the patient and affect his airway.

Use your thumb to press the philtrum of the child, which is the area between the nose and mouth. Then apply white flower oil to the nostrils, forehead, and chest, and then hit or twist the child's hair to make him cry. Do not stop until the child cries. Because once the child cries, it means that the child has woken up.

If the convulsion lasts more than ten minutes or continues and the child cannot regain consciousness, take him to the hospital for medical treatment. Please carefully observe the changes in your child's eyes, face, and limbs during the convulsion. The doctor may ask you about the direction of the eye movement, whether the twitching occurs on both sides of the hands and feet or only on one side. Please also pay attention to the duration of the twitching, as this information will be very helpful to the doctor in diagnosis and treatment.

If a child suddenly convulses and faints, he or she must be treated and given first aid according to the methods described above. This is the only way to avoid the occurrence of some serious disease symptoms. Only in this way can we ensure the child's physical health to the greatest extent possible. We should be prepared to prevent diseases in normal times and actively increase children's physical resistance to avoid diseases.
