What should you do when a seizure ends?

• A. Place on left side for recovery
• B. Stand up immediately
• C. Give them food
• D. Remove pillow and leave them flat

Answer: (A)

When a seizure ends, place the person on their left side in the recovery position. This helps keep the airway open and allows secretions or vomiting to drain away from the mouth as they regain consciousness, reducing the risk of choking. Gently support the head and loosen tight clothing around the neck. Do not put anything in the mouth, and do not give food or drink until they are fully awake and alert. Stay with them, monitor their breathing, and seek help if breathing becomes difficult, the seizure lasts a long time, or there are injuries.
