Can A Child Suffer Concussion After A Fall?
my child just fell and hit her cheekbone to the left of her eye. It is bruising badly and quite swollen. She has stopped crying and seems in fairly good form. It is almost time for her to go to bed. I am wondering what the chances are of her being concussed?
