Does Headache From A Fall In Children Need Medical Attention?
hi My son fell tonight in hockey practice and hit his head kinda hard. He was wearing a helmet and protective gear. He did NOT lose conciousness, but has a headache. Should I take him to the doctor... I feel like he will probably be ok, but worse case scenerio would be concussion. What should I do

hello dear!
in my opinion yes you should consult a doctor within 24 hrs.
sometimes its just superficial injury and wont hurt that much but you never know about concussion.
I hope it wont be but still i would like you to see a doctor to have a detailed physical examination of the child.
wishing your child good health :-)
