Child With Foggy And Painful Head After A Head Injury, Has History Of Post-traumatic Concussions. Is This Serious?
My granddaughter fell and hit the back of her head yesterday. She states her head hurts and when I ask if it's
a foggy feeling or sharp striking pain she says the former.
Two years ago she was in a car accident and had post-traumatic concussion with the same symptoms.
She is home from school today and what should she be doing.
She is 9 y.o. and is 80#. I gave her 3 baby Tylenol but she says that didn't help.
Please advise.
