What should I do if my child always says they have a headache when they feel unwell?

Patient's question:

I have noticed many times that when my child has a fever or high fever, he feels dizzy. About the past treatment and its effects: When the child was 2 years old, he fell from a shopping cart and hit his head. At that time, a CT scan was done and it was said to be a mild concussion. He was given intravenous drips and medication. At that time, besides nausea, he only felt lethargic. What kind of help is needed: Now that the child is 7 years old, I feel that his intellectual and physical development is very slow, and when he is sick, he feels dizzy. I don't know if it has anything to do with that fall. Was that injury left behind any sequelae?

Doctor's answer:

After the child suffered a head injury, they again exhibited symptoms of concussive injury, including nausea, lethargy, which indicates brain edema and mild damage to the brain tissue. There is a possibility of lingering sequelae such as intellectual disability or epilepsy.
After the child had a cold, they again experienced dizziness, which is a normal reaction. Most people who have a fever will also experience symptoms like dizziness and headache again, and this is not closely related to head trauma.
The above is advice regarding the issue of "the child saying they feel dizzy whenever they are uncomfortable." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
