Treatment
The goals of treatment are to perform emergency measures, if necessary, and to reduce the rate of future seizures.
Emergency treatment may not be required, unless the seizure becomes generalized or consciousness is lost. First-aid measures should be performed as appropriate, including protection from injury, prevention of breathing vomit or mucus into the lungs, and airway protection or assistance with breathing.
