Question
A six-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. She has no significant abnormalities, but sometimes she trembles. Does concussion affect a child’s intelligence?
Answer
Concussion typically does not affect a person’s intelligence. After a concussion, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, lack of concentration, reduced thinking ability, mood instability, insomnia, and frequent dreaming may occur. However, most people see these symptoms gradually fade after a short period. It is recommended to observe the child’s condition. If the symptoms persist or other abnormalities occur, please take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible.
