5-6weeks ago, my 7 year old son fell off climbing frame, hitting his mouth on other boys head. Force knocked front tooth out from the root. Was exceptionally calm at time with no critical sign of head injury. But since, has been complaining of headaches & dizziness, has been more argumentative & says he finds it hard to listen in class. He is an elite football player & high level co- ordination, speed & endurance have also been affected but normal daily functioning is fine. He also has dark circles under eyes. Is this post concussion syndrome ? Should he be resting? Not exercising? Is there any medicine or anything that can speed his recovery. Should we be pushing for further investigations or is there nothing we can do but wait?
Hi, I guess you should go for further investigations because headache and dizziness are not to be taken light following a fall. Other symptom that is no t able to hear properly and back circles under the eyes are not good signs. Probably you have to get a CT scan done and based on the reports, probably even a MRI Hope this has helped Tc
