No. A person who is having a seizure might not have control of his mouth, throat or swallowing functions and might swallow it. There is also the danger of them biting on the object and doing damage to themselves, like breaking teeth or swallowing a broken part of the item. Despite the common misconception, a person cannot swallow their tongue. The tongue can roll back a bit, but this is a natural occurrence and poses no threat to breathing. So putting something into their mouth is not going to achieve anything.

Absolutely not. Both the person having the seizure and the person attempting to put something in that person's mouth can be injured that way. Some people believe that it they should put something in the patient's mouth to prevent him/her from swallowing the tongue. This is not even possible. The person may bite his/her own tongue but not swallow it. In fact putting something into the patient's mouth can create the danger of swallowing that object.
