Since then he has had increased outburts and temper tantrums that are harder to control.

hi thanks for writing to health care magic i hope he did not hae any loss of consciousness, seizures or bleeding from ear or nose these are the danger signs that should be observed post head injury your child seems to have temper tantrums and mostly are unrelated to that particular even temper tantrums are common in this age group and should be handled with care if the symptoms persists and become difficult to control.... pl get the child reviewed by your doctor hope this helps take care
