Pediatric Concussion

A pediatric concussion is a mild brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head or body that shakes the brain inside the skull. This can temporarily affect a child's mental functions, leading to symptoms like headache, dizziness, confusion, or nausea. Concussions are common in children and may not always be obvious. Rest and gradual return to activities are important for recovery. If symptoms worsen or persist, medical evaluation is essential to ensure proper treatment and to prevent potential complications.
