Concussions in kids

[Phoebe]

Neurology peeps....

My neighbors daughter tripped over their cat and landed on her forehead on the wood floor. So far she has been crying excessively and thrown up 3 times. She has a headache and is tired. DH looked at her and she is neurologically intact he said just groggy. The parents are watching her, but when does throwing up warrant an ER visit?

DH says if it was his kid he'd be taking her in because of the grogginess and the throwing up.

[fluffhead]

ER visit, imo.

[Phoebe]

She's thrown up six times now

[SuzySunshine]

She should go in!

DH says she needs to go in and get a scan pronto, no question.

[Phoebe]

Thanks. I told her. My husband is sleeping and I cant get a hold if him. I am at the movies with my girls trying to help.

Yes they finally took her in. The CT scan was normal, thankfully. Thanks for the input.

Wow, that's really scary stuff. Glad the CT scan was clear and that you encouraged them to go in! Hope she's feeling better today.
