How to provide first aid for children with concussion?

In daily life, children's heads are the most vulnerable to injury. If a child's head is hit, it is easy to get a concussion. At this time, the child will cry non-stop, but because parents do not know how to deal with this situation in their children, they often feel anxious and at a loss. The following editor will explain some first aid methods for children's concussions:

First aid for concussion in children:

Children's heads are easily injured by external forces, which may cause concussions, so parents should pay special attention to this. The causes of head injuries vary for children of different ages. Babies aged 3-4 months old have just learned to roll over, and if their family members are not careful, they will fall off the bed. Babies aged 6 to 7 months old are very active and may fall to the ground from the hands of adults if they are not careful. When children are learning to walk or have just learned to walk, they often lack self-control when approaching the step at the entrance of the stairs and may roll down. When a child falls and hits his head on the ground, if he hits a hard object such as a concrete floor or a tile floor, he can easily suffer more serious injuries. Parents should be alert to whether this may cause a concussion.

After a child is injured in a collision, he or she will immediately experience temporary impaired consciousness, such as inability to cry and confusion, which lasts for about half an hour. Those with minor injuries may only be in a trance (confused), while those with severe injuries may lose consciousness (fall into a coma), become irritable, go into mild shock, become pale, or experience nausea and vomiting. Some are sleepy and wake up after several hours or overnight. After regaining consciousness, they may still have headaches (children bang their heads with their hands), irritability, vomiting or dizziness. Some may even lose consciousness for a long time. If this kind of phenomenon occurs, it may be a skull fracture, head hematoma, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

The editor reminds parents that if you find that your child has some head injury, you must pay attention to it. Minor head injuries may require the child to rest for about 1 to 2 days. If the head injury is very serious and there is some hematoma on the head, the editor recommends that you take your child to the hospital for examination and treatment.
