A member asked:
Can you get a concussion from a 3 year old child who acts up and while holding her she intentionally head butts you in the cheekbone really hard.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: A concussion would imply that you lost consciousness or had a memory loss of the period prior to or just after the event. The face is made with air filled chambers (sinuses) that help protect the brain from direct trauma while the back of the skulls thickness does the same thing. If you did not lose consciousness, I doubt you can have a concussion.
