What are the symptoms of concussion in children?

Since the nerves in the human brain are very fragile, they are often easily concussed when impacted by external forces. Severe concussions can even affect a person's normal brain function and cause brain death. Therefore, in daily life, parents should pay great attention to the safety of their children's brains and not let their children be impacted by external forces. But if a child is impacted by external forces and suffers a concussion, what are the symptoms?

Concussion is very common in daily life. The main cause of this disease is a temporary dysfunction of the central nervous system caused by external force. It is not only a common disease in adults, but also some children may suffer from this disease due to external factors. Once this disease occurs, it has a great impact on the body. Therefore, it should be treated in time after the symptoms appear. What are the symptoms of a mild concussion in children?

1. Impairment of consciousness mainly refers to the immediate loss of consciousness of a child after being injured. However, most of these symptoms are relatively mild and will generally heal within no more than half an hour.

2. Amnesia . This is also a common symptom after the disease occurs. The main manifestation is that the child cannot recall what happened at the time of injury after waking up. If the concussion is relatively mild, the degree of amnesia will also be relatively mild, but if the condition is more serious, the degree will also be more serious.

3. Headache is the first symptom that occurs after the disease occurs, and dizziness will often occur at the same time. When the child is under emotional stress, moves the head or changes body position, the symptom will worsen, but it will generally disappear on its own within three to five days.

4. Nausea and vomiting . This is also a symptom that most people will experience after a concussion, and it usually recovers after a few days. But many patients experience shortness of breath along with this symptom. Symptoms such as pale complexion, cold limbs and excessive sweating occur.

After understanding the symptoms of mild concussion in children, once the child is found to have these symptoms, timely treatment should be given. The treatment requires the child to pay attention to bed rest first, and it is better to pay attention to reducing mental work. For severe pain, analgesics can also be used to relieve it. Only in this way can the disease be relieved as soon as possible after treatment.
