Several cues: The kid who is not knocked out, disoriented or confused @ the time of the injury is probably fine. Confusion or repeated episodes of vomiting in the hours after trauma deserve a look over by the dr.Kids under 8 can be allowed to nap on their regular schedule, with you checking in on occasion.Cold compresses can reduce the swelling, if the kid will let you.

Observe him: If the nausea continues or he begins vomiting, is more lethargic than usual, or acting unusual in any way, please contact his doctor for an examination. A concussion can occur from a head injury without having lost consciousness, so look for those symptoms and try to have him rest more than usual, at least for the day. If he is fine after that, he can resume activities.
