Thanks so much, bro. I appreciate!

You're welcome.


Got this from online:

How to deal with convulsion (epilepsy)


Do...

1. Protect the person from injury - (remove harmful objects from nearby)
2. Cushion their head
3. Look for an epilepsy identity card or identity jewellery - I guess this is not relevant here.
4. Aid breathing by gently placing them in the recovery position once the seizure has finished (see pictures)
5. Stay with the person until recovery is complete
6. Be calmly reassuring


Don't...

1. Restrain the person’s movements
2. Put anything in the person’s mouth
3. Try to move them unless they are in danger
4. Give them anything to eat or drink until they are fully recovered
5. Attempt to bring them round


Call for an ambulance if...

1. You know it is the person’s first seizure, or
2. The seizure continues for more than five minutes, or
3. One tonic-clonic seizure follows another without the person regaining consciousness between seizures, or
4. The person is injured during the seizure, or
5. You believe the person needs urgent medical attention

Convulsn in children btw age 1-13yrs leave naturally,if he experience dat at puberty age it z anoda things,he wil outgrow it bro,ensure he didnt run high temp and make sure he didnt experience hotness.
Cool down bro,God wil heal him,make sure u didnt allow him 2 engage in horseplay i.e rough play

Thanks so much, sir. Points noted!

I feel your pain and the stress you are going thru however getting a permanent cure for a child with convulsion may be a diff. Task even though most could be effectively managed.


The first thing to do is finding out the cause of these seizures, which could arise if he has had a previous febrile illiness like meningitis, cerebral malaria or encephalitis or if he had any trauma with head injury. The list goes on, the best thing is for him to see a neurologist so detailed investigation could be done and propably place him on anti- convulsants.


But for now whenever he has a seizure pls remain calm most will stop by itself w/o any intervention


Let him lie on his left side, better on the floor so his tongue doesn't roll back and he doesn't choke on his own saliva


Remove all dangerous and sharp obj from his vicinity


Do not place sharp object or spoon in his mouth this can cause more harm than good.



PS. Most seizures in children are caused by disruption of electrical activity of the brain which usu. Resolves by the time the get older

AnanseK: 1. It is very important that you take your brother to a hospital to be investigated, as there are some causes of convulsion that can be treated.
2. A common cause of convulsion epilepsy with no obvious cause found. Even this can be controlled by treatment with medicines. Patients can actually be free of fits for months and even years on regular medication. I am aware of young people like your brother who no longer required their drugs at an older age and the fits have stopped for good.
3. A convulsion person must be given a similar first aid as unconscious person. Keeping the airway open is very important to ensure that his breathing is not impaired.
4. Putting a spoon or similar item between his teeth is prevent him from biting his tongue. This has to be done with care to avoid injury, if possible wrap the spoon handle firmly with a clean handkerchief or bandage before placing it in the mouth just to separate his upper teeth from the lower teeth - that's all.
5. Please don't try to raise a convulsing patient to the sitting or standing position! The lying position with his head slightly tilted to one side and neck extended to keep airway open is the recommended position.
6. As suggested by a post above , remove all potential injurious objects from his vicinity.
Remember he must be seen by a Doctor before he has another fit. Best wishes and best of luck.

Points duly noted! God bless you..

jopex: May God heal her body and soul.

Amen!

It is actually a "he" ...thanks so much sir!

Amefrica...I was going to post an instructional video here but, its too graphic. Am sure there is a lot of education here already and there is much more on the internet.
Please search YouTube for handling someone having a seizure. Peace be with your family

Thanks so much, sis! Jah bless..

bumdish: Amefrica

Yes sir/ma?

Hello. im new to nairaland and this is my first activity as a member....yaaaaay
anyways, convulsion strictly is a symptom and not a diagnosis. so u need to find out wat is causing the symptom.
ur answers will come from a doctor, in a hospital, wen many tests have been done.
during a seizure episode, its better to lie ur brother on his side, and like someone said, remove all potentially injurious stuff from around him.
many seizure types have triggers, such as flashing lights or evn a fever, so knowing and avoiding such triggers wont b a bad idea.
I do wish u and ur brother all the best.

Sorry...I had to edit my earlier post. You can see the update now.

milehigh06:
what!!!! God said,He helps those who help themselves.....go see a dr..that is the help God is seeking from you and He will guide the DR's hands to the right place...stay at home and pray o and not take measures..make una no over burden God with issues you can deal with...Israel and Palestine dey call am at present now

God is never over burdened. He's d best DR. we should always run to. The Earthly Dr. Can try their best but if God isn't involved it will amount to nothing.

The first thing is for the Doctor to determine te cause of the convulsions. He may be epileptic or there may be another reason. One of my friends used to have convulsions and later it was discovered that she was epileptic. She went for treatment and she's been fine since, it was a treatment where some things were attached to her head and electricity passed through. Don't really know how o describe it but she's never convulsed since so yes I believe there's a cure once the cause is identified.

Even at my age I still convulsed the last time I fell sick and that was 2 months ago. I'm over 21.

boombay: Allow him smoke weed!

Am I supposed to laugh?

This is a worrisome ailment because from my research there are a blend of different causes of the ailment. But I have introduced a few people I know to a supplement called Trevo and it has been very good for them. Maybe you could try it

Amefrica: I have a brother who is 9years old. He convulsed 2 times last month --- the first one was just something else, it took him 30mins before he got relieved. We made him sit upright while convulsing, so he doesn't choke on his own saliva.

A week and some days later, same thing happened ...so he was taken to a hospital and also my granny brought some herb. He uses this at 3 days interval.

...and this morning again, around 5:30, he was in my room and convulsed again. I quickly put a spoon in his mouth and made him sit upright. I didn't shout (my mum sabi cry), when I realized he's relieved, then I called my dad and mum.

Everybody is just tired --- is there any permanent cure for this sickening thing called convulsion?

Thanks!

He needs a neurologist. I'd recommend that you take him to (please don't take this the wrong way) Fed Neuropsychiatric Hosp, Yaba, but since they are on strike, try private clinics that have a consulting neurologist.

No, epilepsy (if the dr diagnoses that, as there can be several causes - fever, tumors etc)cannot be permanently cured, but he can have a seizure freedom for months at a go such that he has less than five in a year.

Thanks very much, ma.

With the will of God, it can be solved. I had a brother who has similer issue. And now he is ok. But it was a herbal treatment. U can call me on 08065668141 for more details.

use phenobarbitone tablets,phenontine capsule,and carbamazephine tablets goodluck

Convulsion can be cured traditionally and not medically. First aid when it happens:
1) Put spoon in his mouth
2) Cut onion and begin to rub in his eyes and nose till he is relieved
3) Allow fresh air to get to him and also assist by fanning him
The permanent cure is to seek original tradition man. Some will call out, it looks like lizard after which incision will be cut on his face. Final

feminineA: I really wish and pray there is. A young man was walking on the road around my area and slumped . All of a sudden started convulsing in the process hot oil from the woman frying yam by the road side poured on him. it was a terrible thing

Chai! There is God o......
So it is not bad enough that he has a condition that he cannot hide/control, he still go fall inside hot oil?

He needs to get a CT scan done. Something must be triggering it. Was he like that before? Is he Epileptic? (no insult intended o) take him to a specialist hospital. He has to get adequate and full examination esp his brain and maybe if he is reacting to something that triggers his brain to me so fire.
Pele. The poor child. Chei who normal never survive finish for naija. I hope he gets better soon. Next time he convulsed. Lay him on his side. The spit will flow out. Lay him on his side and put something in his mouth to prevent him bitting his tongue. But be careful not to do more damage while trying good to put it into his mouth.
I am not sure if convulsing people spit Sha. It's Epilepsy I know of(note I am not sure) that spit during a fit.

At Poster,..your brother is having seizures.i agree with some of the precautions:
1.clear the area of sharp harmful things
2.lie him down on his side
3.cushion head,.remove glasses
4.loosen tight clothing
5.dont hold him down
6.time the seizure.
7.NEVER PUT ANYTHING in his mouth,..it could cause more damage.
8.please DO NOT try herbal medications(that brain is too tender for experiments)


Now you need to go see a neurologist. The diagnosis is clinically based so I hope you have the whole story.(u may be sent for some imaging investigations).

There's actually no cure but one can be seizure free from start of medications to years after(but you must be compliant with the Anti convulsants).

Be quick because the more he has seizures,as a tender brain,the more damages to the brain at this stage.

Where do you reside?..i hope this helps
