Answer:

you can't

Step-by-step explanation:

if the person tries to stop it from happening it makes it worse, the movements and duration..

you have to let them do what they need to do, time it while its happening if it gets longer that 5-7 minutes, if they hit their head, or are not coherent, then you have to call 911.

they have to lay on their back and make sure they have nothing in their mouth or anything they can get hurt near them. do not move them or stop them from moving.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep other people out of the way.

Clear hard or sharp objects away from the person.

Don't try to hold them down or stop the movements.

Place them on their side, to help keep their airway clear.

Look at your watch at the start of the seizure, to time its length.

Don't put anything in their mouth.
