Head Injuries

 Head injuries are less likely to be serious if the person can remember what has happened.  Children are sometimes sick after even a very minor bump.

 You should contact your doctor if:

¨      the person was knocked out or later loses consciousness

¨      there is blurred double vision, faintness or dizziness

¨      there is bleeding or fluid from an ear or clear fluid from the nose

¨      there is severe headache

¨      there is abnormal drowsiness (but note that small children will sometimes have a sleep after a fall - if they behave normally on waking there is no cause for concern.)
