How do you tell if a kid hits his head and gets a concussion?



After a fall, children need to be judged by the specific symptoms of concussion, such as nausea and vomiting, impaired consciousness, headache, dizziness, and transient brainstem symptoms.

1. Nausea and vomiting: Most people stop vomiting immediately after a few times, while a few may take a few days to recover normally.

2. Impaired consciousness: Some people experience sudden loss of consciousness after a crash, though not for an unusually long period of time, minutes or tens of minutes.

3. Headache and dizziness: others are aggravated by their own excessive emotional stress, or by moving their head or changing their position.

4. Transient brainstem symptoms: after trauma to people’s head, there may be a consciousness disorder, clinically manifested as complete coma, lasting seconds, minutes or tens of minutes, but the average person will not be more than half an hour, accompanied by sweating, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia.

Through the above understanding, there are times when concussions are not particularly serious and people just need to be conditioned, and then there are other concussions that are very dangerous and may even cause people to lose their lives.

Children who hit their heads with the above symptoms are advised to go to the hospital in time to rule out intracranial hemorrhage.
