See below: It varies, the worst injury I have seen was probably a girl being gored in a bull riding event. But there are many others.

Hi, I am wondering how a whiplash or other neck injury in a 16 months old girl would show? Except from crying and being moody. She was pushed on the swing and her head fell back, which looked awful. How common are further complications if untreated?
