Question
A 9.5-year-old child was hit in the head by a classmate’s knee at school. Although a CT scan showed no abnormalities, the child still experienced dizziness, sometimes needing to lean against the wall for support. One week later, the child developed tonsillitis along with fever, and the dizziness recurred. An online doctor suggested it might be due to mild cerebral ischemia and recommended taking Yangu Qingnao medication.
Answer
Based on the description, the child experienced dizziness after the head injury, although the CT scan showed no abnormalities, it cannot be ruled out that there is a possibility of mild concussion. In this case, attention should be paid to rest, which usually leads to gradual recovery. While taking Yangu Qingnao medication can be considered, I recommend taking the child to the hospital for a detailed CT scan, as there is a risk period within 72 hours after the injury.
