Some children may have symptoms of concussion. Your child may be diagnosed with concussion if there was a loss of consciousness, visual changes, confusion or temporary memory loss at the time of the accident

Following a head injury an adult should supervise your child for the next 24 hours. They should also receive regular pain relief (for example, Paracetamol). If you are concerned that they are developing a problem, please telephone this Emergency Department and, if necessary, bring them back to hospital
