Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I'm very concerned, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. What should I do if the child vomits after hitting their head?Doctor's answer:
Concussion refers to a temporary brain dysfunction that occurs immediately after the head is struck by external force. The pathological changes are not significant, and the mechanism of occurrence is still debated. Clinical manifestations include transient loss of consciousness, retrograde amnesia, as well as symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Neurological examinations do not reveal any positive findings, and there are generally no long-term sequelae. Treatment primarily involves rest, appropriate energy supplementation, and increased fluid intake.
