Head Injuries
If your child has experienced trauma to the head, there are a few signs to look for to alert you to call your doctor immediately. Call your doctor if your child is dizzy, weak, unable to move her limbs, unconscious or is under one year of age. If there is excessive bleeding, or if your child is breathing irregularly you should also call your doctor or visit your ER. If your child has experienced a fall or bumped his head and you are concerned, it is always best to err on the side of caution, and visit the doctor. Brain injuries can be very serious, so it is best to have it checked by a medical professional.
