thanks for consultation.
your child gets black out after minor head trauma.
this can be incidental but actually might get a kind fit or short sciezer disorder.this is usuall in children with initial presentation but I can be wrong here.
My humble advice is;
1.check the heart rate and if it is slow than 60 per mintue then needs pediatric cardiologist opinion.
2.Brain EEG test.
3. Brain MRI.
If all negative then it's excluded for any serious problem.
if it is positive which is unlikely, then needs follow up with pediatric neurologist.
