Question
My child is 6 years old and bumped their head on the back of their head at night. They cried for a while and then seemed fine, went to brush their teeth and take a nap. However, they vomited after eating breakfast in bed this morning. Could it be a concussion?
Answer
Based on your medical history, your symptoms may not be caused by a concussion. The main clinical diagnosis symptoms of a concussion are brief loss of consciousness and inability to recall events before waking up. Your symptoms are likely due to a temporary cerebral contusion. It is recommended that you visit the neurosurgery department of a local regular hospital for a re-examination. Have a brain MRI scan done to get an accurate diagnosis and further treatment.
