Parents can tilt their child's head to one side, because vomiting and increased mucus secretion in the mouth often occur during convulsions, and tilting the head to one side can avoid sucking vomit and secretions into the trachea, causing shortness of breathing. If there is discharge from the mouth, it should be removed immediately.

Involuntary tongue bites often occur during convulsions, and parents can wrap small wooden boards or chopsticks with clean gauze and place them in the child's mouth. Of course, if the child's teeth are clenched very tightly during convulsions, do not force chopsticks into the mouth to avoid local damage.
