Pediatric Sports Concussion Management

Pediatric sports concussion management involves assessing and treating head injuries in young athletes. When a child sustains a concussion, they may experience symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or confusion. Proper management includes removing the child from sports, evaluating their symptoms, and providing rest and gradual return to activity. Healthcare professionals monitor recovery to ensure the child regains full function before returning to play. Education for coaches, parents, and athletes about recognizing concussion symptoms is crucial for safety. Ultimately, the goal is to protect young athletes' health while allowing them to enjoy sports responsibly.
