HI
Well come to HCM
Tongue bite is the main concern in epileptic seizure, this is not normal but this is consequence of convulsion, with the medicine the seizure controlled very well, if you want to avoid this then better to have the medicine regularly, keep the spoon with you as soon as you feel that it is going to be epileptic fir just put the spoon in your mouth, hope this helps.
