First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery. It includes initial intervention in a serious condition prior to professional medical help being available, such as performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation while awaiting an ambulance as well as the complete treatment of minor conditions, such as applying a plaster to a cut. A convulsion is a medical condition where body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in uncontrolled actions of the body. The term convulsion is sometimes used as a synonym for seizure.
