How to treat a child's head injured by an elbow joint?

Patient's question:

The child was hit in the head with an elbow by a classmate, and on the third day, symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and dry heaving reappeared. A CT scan showed nothing significant, but after several days (seven or eight), the nausea and dizziness still persist. There's no need to do an MRI to check again.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, there is a risk of brain damage that cannot be ruled out. Some injuries will never be sensitive within 24 hours. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital to undergo a brain MRI for a thorough examination. After identifying the cause, follow the doctor's advice to use neurotrophic drugs for treatment. It is also necessary to monitor changes in blood pressure data, pay attention to getting more rest, and maintain emotional stability. Avoid overtime and overwork to ensure adequate sleep time. The diet should be light, and avoid greasy, overly salty, and spicy stimulating foods.
