When children fall and suffer a blow to the head detecting TBI can be more difficult than in adults. The Centers for Disease Control in the US reports that 1/2 of all TBIs in children are a result of falls with a blow to the head. Teach your children to wear helmets to help prevent other head injuries, and to tell an adult if they or a friend fall and hit their heads.
Symptoms of TBI include:
- Headaches
- Any loss of consciousness
- Changes in behaviour changes like agitation or combativeness
- Disorientation, dizziness or confusion
- Ringing in the ears
- Blurred vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Long lasting headache
- Seizures and convulsions
Children in particular may exhibit the following symptoms:
- Persistent, inconsolable crying
- Change in sleep or eating patterns
- Reduced attentiveness
- Lack of interest in their toys or friends
If you notice any of these symptoms in your child seek medical attention to rule out TBI.
