Suggest Treatment For Seizures In A Child

Yes my niece is 7months old, she's having seizures that have been treated, she has been to the emergency room a lot, she has an appointment with her neurologist tomorrow. However the seizures last for about 1min to 2min and after wards she cries for 30 min. my question is, is there pain that she's feeling, what can I do besides giving her meds to help ease her when she has an episode? is their anything that i should be doing to not cause them?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

During an episode of seizure , keep baby in lateral position to avoid risk of aspiration of secretions , do not give anything including medicines by mouth , usually seizures abort in 2-3 minutes ,in case of prolonged seizures you need to learn use of rectal or intranasal drugs or rush to emergency to get seizures aborted. Cause of excess cry is post seizure irritability due to effect on brain .
Preventing seizures from occurring needs proper evaluation of cause and regular medicines to control seizure.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
