Not sure if your child has a concussion? Look for signs of disorientation, dilated pupils, stumbling, wooziness, and memory loss. “If you have to evaluate, chances are there is a legitimate concern,” says Siegel. Always err on the side of caution to avoid risking a more serious and permanent injury. Have the player sit out and seek the opinion of a health care professional immediately for an evaluation. “It generally takes two full weeks or more before a concussion fully heals,” says Siegel. “Head injuries are very serious and can cause severe damage to a child's brain. It is much better to sit out a day or a few weeks than risk a serious and possibly permanent brain injury.”
According to the CDC, signs of a concussion include difficulty thinking clearly, headache, fuzzy or burry vision, and nausea, among others.
