A member asked:
Can a hit to the head cause brain damage? i was smacked at the side of the head and the back of the head with a t.v remote could anything bad happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Absent loss of consciousness, seizures, arm/leg weakness, altered vision, persistent severe post traumatic headaches, you likely will have no ill effects. It actually takes fairly hard trauma to the head to hurt someone your age.
