Patient's question:
This week, I didn't go to my sister's house to play. She has a new little baby, who is extremely cute. However, I noticed that her family likes to hold the child and sway them, and even shake them. I think this is not good, as it can cause the child to get a concussion. What are the symptoms of a newborn concussion?Doctor's answer:
A concussion is a temporary dysfunction of the brain that occurs immediately after the head is subjected to external force. There are no obvious pathological changes. Clinical manifestations include temporary loss of consciousness, retrograde amnesia, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Neurological examination shows no positive signs. Based on the current situation, such contact will not cause a concussion. It is the mildest type of brain injury, and most can be cured after treatment.
