Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Chances Of A Concussion Post A Head Injury?
Yes, My 33 year old daughter wasn t looking where she was walking and walked right into a steel beam at the park when looking at her daughter. She hit the side of her head, upper temple at 10:00 this morning. It did not knock her out but she laid down for a while as it was causing her a lot of pain. She still has a headache now (6 hours later) and can t look at screens. I think she should go get it checked out. I am concerned she may have a concussion. Any thoughts?
