We get many calls about little ones hitting their heads. 🧒 How do you know when you should bring your child in to be seen?

If your child hits their head and has any of the following emergency symptoms, seek medical attention:
🔹Will not stop crying and cannot be consoled
🔹Constant, worsening headache
🔹Repeated vomiting
🔹Slurred speech
🔹Looks very drowsy or cannot be awakened.
🔹One pupil (the black part in the middle of the eye) is larger than the other
🔹Convulsions or seizures
🔹Unusual behavior or not acting like their usual self
🔹Loss of consciousness (even briefly)
