The traditional first aid and treatment of convulsion

FIRST AID 


         The first aid treatment for the patients convulsing are explain as follow. (A). Spoon will be put into the mouth of the patient to separate the upper jaw and lower jaw of the patients and (B).a little salt will be added gradually to avoid permanent contraction of teeth (locally known as WIWAYINPO), otherwise the patient may die. 

 PRECAUTIONS: 


          These precautions must strictly adhere to during this process; (i). the jaw separation must be done perfectly and gently, to avoid the removal of the patient’s teeth. The jaw separation must not be done with bare hand, the finger(s) of the person that try to separate the teeth-jaws could be cut-off or left with severe injury during this process, because all the hormones in the patient’s body are already actively strong. (ii). the salt to be added must be in small quantity. (iii). The onion should be sliced, and rubbed in patient’s eyes and the smoke emitting from it will prevent the patients from closing his/ her eyes to avoid a sudden loss of consciousness.

convulsion, definition, types and causes

CONVULSION, DEFINITION TYPES AND  CAUSE 

 

        Previously,  I posted as regarding ULCER, The symptoms , causes, and treatment. Today's article will follow the same pattern, only that we will be focusing on a very common and delicate ailment  which is named CONVULSION.
        Not to miss the track,  I would like to give you the definition of convulsion as it was defined by  Wikipedia. "CONVULSION is a medical condition where body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking of the body"
      Another often used name for convulsions is  seizure. Although, not all seizure are convulsions.
         The most common cases of convulsions are in children, most especially when they are about to produce their milk teeth.
