A pediatric head injury is any damage to a child's scalp, skull, or brain, with symptoms ranging from mild bumps and bruises to more severe conditions like concussions, skull fractures, or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Symptoms vary by severity but can include irritability, headache, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, and in more severe cases, loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, seizures, or weakness. Immediate medical attention is crucial, especially for severe symptoms, and treatment depends on the injury's severity and may involve first aid, observation, or hospitalization.
Mild to moderate symptoms
Physical: A raised area from a bump or bruise, a shallow cut, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, sensitivity to light and noise, nausea, or vision problems.
Behavioral: Irritability, unusual behavior, confusion, or changes in sleep patterns.
Infants and toddlers: Symptoms may be harder to identify and can include changes in feeding, crying, or sleep patterns.
Severe symptoms requiring immediate medical attention
Loss of consciousness or inability to be awakened.
Repeated vomiting or a severe headache that won't go away.
Seizures or convulsions.
Slurred speech or trouble walking.
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body.
Blood or clear fluid draining from the ears or nose.
A pupil that is larger than the other.
First aid and initial care
For minor injuries: Apply ice or a cold pack wrapped in a towel to the area for 15–20 minutes.
Rest: Allow the child to rest or sleep if they are tired. Do not try to keep them awake after a head injury.
When to seek medical help
If you are concerned about the injury at any point, seek medical attention.
See a doctor if your child has any of the severe symptoms listed above.
A healthcare professional can determine the severity of the injury and the necessary course of action.
Professional treatment
Observation: The doctor may recommend observing the child for a period to ensure symptoms don't worsen.
Medication: Medicine may be needed to manage pain or cause sedation.
Imaging: Diagnostic tests like CT scans or MRIs may be used to get a closer look at the brain.
Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to treat fractures or remove blood clots. .
