What should I do if my child's head is knocked by another classmate's elbow?

Patient's question:

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

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, there is a risk of brain damage that cannot be ruled out. Some injuries will never show up on imaging 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. Additionally, monitor changes in blood pressure data, pay attention to getting more rest, and maintain emotional stability. Avoid overwork and excessive stress to ensure adequate sleep. Your diet should be light, avoiding greasy, overly salty, and spicy foods.
