JudyGenerally NOTHING, If someone really FAINTS. Of course, if you are quickly enough to catch them, soften their way down. Again, just soften their way down, don't hold the person upright, sitting or with the head elevated. On the contrary, if the person stays sitting in the chair or against the wall -- lay them with the head on the ground.
Check their breathing to make sure it's the faint and not the cardiac arrest, for example! If there's no breathing start CPR immediately, but it's another topic.
In the case of normal breathing do nothing. Standard recommendations are call emergency and put the person in the recovery position (on their side), but hold off on doing these for the first minute, because most simple faints ends within ~30 s and the ambulance isn't required. DO NOT torture the fainted person with ammonia, slaps, cold water etc. It isn't good to wake them up until their brain gets fully recovered from oxygen deprivation.
