About Normal head injuries Normal head injuries
are common in people of all ages and rarely
result in any permanent brain damage. On the off
chance that your tyke encounters a thump, knock
or hit to the head, sit them down, comfort them,
and ensure they rest. You can hold a virus pack
to their head attempt a sack of ice or
solidified peas enclosed by a tea towel. The
indications of minor head damage are generally
gentle and shortlived. They may include      
 a mellow migraine        nausea (feeling wiped
out)        mild unsteadiness        mild
obscured vision On the off chance that your
tykes manifestations deteriorate, take them
straight to the mishap and crisis (AE) bureau of

Treating a minor head injury Most people who
attend hospital with a minor head injury are
allowed to return home shortly afterwards and
will make a full recovery within a few
days. After attending hospital with a minor head
injury, youll usually be discharged fairly soon
and be able to recover at home. Most people will
make a full recovery in a few days. For the first
24 hours after the injury, its important for
someone to stay with the injured person to keep
an eye out for any new symptoms that
develop. Its also important to rest, avoid
aggravating the injury with stressful situations,
and avoid contact sports until fully
recovered. Mild headaches can be treated
with paracetamol, but always read the
manufacturers instructions to ensure the correct
dosage is taken. Dont give aspirin to children
under the age of 16. Read more about how to treat
