A concussion can occur after a fall or hard blow to the head. Spotting the symptoms early is crucial for proper care, as advised by medical experts.
Watch for these common concussion symptoms:
- nausea and vomiting;
- headache;

- brief loss of consciousness (maximum fifteen minutes).
Call a doctor immediately if the person:
- is unresponsive;
- has turned eyes or complains of poor vision;
- has convulsions;
- is unconscious;
- is dazed and confused.
