๐ก Did you know?
You should never put anything in someone's mouth during a seizure.
Despite the old myth, a person cannot swallow their tongue โ and putting objects or fingers in their mouth could cause injury.
Instead:
๐ก๏ธ Protect them from injury
โฑ๏ธ Time the seizure
๐งฅ Cushion their head
๐ซ Don't restrain them
Knowing what NOT to do can be just as important as knowing what to do.
