Head injuries can look mild at first and become serious later. The page educates families on red flags and helps them seek timely care.
Red Flags
Repeated vomiting, drowsiness, seizure, weakness, confusion, severe headache or unequal pupils need urgent medical attention.
Surgical Need
Some bleeds or depressed fractures require surgery, while many concussions need observation and structured recovery.
Recovery
Guidance covers rest, screen use, work, driving, sports and repeat evaluation when symptoms persist.
