What Medication Is Suggested Light Swelling And Bruise On The Forehead?

My 8;year old daughter had an accident with her dad on a homade built scooter type thing, they like skid out on it, and her dad landed on her, and she said it knocked the breath out of her. She has a big goose egg on her forehead, and a couple of scratches. Ever since the accident, she has had diarrhea, and a head ache. I was wondering if this could be the results of a concussion, or just kind of a coincidence. Thank you very much for your time.

Hello dear,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com. Blunt head injury as in your daughter,which was clinically mild(without impairment of consciousness and with just a few scratches) may result in headache which may last a few days due to the traumatic inflammation.But long lasting headache because of such clinically mild injury is clinically unexplainable.Diarrhea just can't be explained even with a far off relation.Appears coincidental.Please discuss with your physician with detailed history of headache so that he is able to make a diagnosis for headache and thus ensure proper treatment.I hope it helps.
