Head Injury

A head injury refers to any trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain, often resulting from falls, collisions, or accidents. Symptoms can range from mild (like a headache or minor bruise) to severe (such as loss of consciousness or confusion). There are two main types: closed injuries, where the skull remains intact, and open injuries, where the skull is fractured. It's important to monitor the person afterwards, as some symptoms may develop later. Seeking medical attention is crucial, especially for serious injuries, as they can lead to complications like bleeding or swelling in the brain.
