Patient's question:
For 20 minutes while eating porridge, it was unclear whether it was because she was being pressed or because she had a concussion from falling, that she vomited. About 20 minutes after falling, the approximate former treatment and effectiveness: No treatment was given. What kind of assistance is desired: Just want to know if she had a concussion...Doctor's answer:
Concussion (neurosurgery) refers to a brief loss of brain function immediately following a heavy blow to the head. The pathological changes remain largely unchanged, and the mechanism of recurrence is still a subject of debate. Clinically, it presents with transient loss of consciousness, amnesia for recent events, and symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Neurological examinations reveal no positive findings. It is the mildest form of brain injury, and most patients recover spontaneously after treatment. It can occur alone or in conjunction with other intracranial injuries, such as intracranial hematoma, and should be carefully differentiated and diagnosed in a timely manner.Medical Advice:
1. Patients with concussion should be hospitalized for short-term observation for 2–3 days after the injury. Monitor consciousness, pupil size, and vital signs regularly to detect the possibility of secondary intracranial hematoma.
2. Rest appropriately and avoid excessive mental and physical exertion.
3. Symptomatic treatment should be provided.
4. Psychological support is essential to alleviate anxiety.
