Question

What are the symptoms if a child falls on their left side and has a cerebral concussion?

Answer

Cerebral concussion refers to a temporary brain dysfunction that occurs immediately after a head injury. The pathological changes are not obvious, and the mechanisms of occurrence are still controversial. Clinical manifestations include temporary unconsciousness, amnesia, headache, nausea, and vomiting. There are no positive signs found during neurological examinations, and generally, no sequelae occur. The main treatment is to rest more, appropriately replenish energy, and drink more water.
