What is the reason for the child's headache, fever and dizziness after being hit on the head?

Patient's question:

My child is 9 and a half years old and got hit in the head by a classmate's knee. The CT scan showed no abnormalities, and there was no vomiting. However, two days later, he still has a headache and sometimes needs to hold onto the wall for support. Today, he has a sore throat and a fever, and he's also dizzy. I consulted a doctor online, who said there might be a slight lack of blood supply to the brain. Is this viewpoint correct? She recommended taking Yang Xue Qing Nao Granules, which is it okay to take? I bought the medicine but am hesitant to give it to him.

Doctor's answer:

Your description, the child was hit, if there are no problems with a CT scan of the head in the future, dizziness cannot be ruled out as a case of mild concussion. This situation requires attention to rest, and it will gradually improve because the Yang Xue Qing Nao Granules you mentioned can also be taken. However, I suggest you take the child to the hospital for a CT examination, as there is a dangerous period within 72 hours after the injury.
