Concussion symptoms in children
Concussion symptoms in children:
- dizziness, sweating, weakness
- nausea, sometimes – with vomiting
- forgetfulness, sometimes – loss of memory, sudden loss of consciousness
- pallescence
- sometimes arises a feeling of temporary space loss
- the child has a bad concentration
If a child lost consciousness from a blow on the head, he needs professional medical care, as quickly as possible, because likely he has a strong concussion!
If the child after the trauma looks bad, does not remember how he fell or you see his health deteriorated immediately call for an ambulance! The trauma may be not a just a simple concussion, but a cerebral contusion! And cerebral contusion in contrast to a concussion, which needs only rest, quiet and bed rest, requires medication treatment.
How do doctors distinguish cerebral contusion? As a rule, they do this with the help of x-ray photo and look at the hemorrhage and fractures of the skull.
