Is Tenderness At The Injury Site On The Head A Concern?
My 9 year old daughter was hit on the right side of head near the temple area yesterday afternoon at school. It s still tender when she touches the area. Given it was the temple area, should I be concerned. She is fine, went to school today, karate practice, played etc., it doesn t bother her, but if she puts her finger on the area and lightly pushes, she said it s still sore (although better then yesterday)?? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Features to be concerned about following head trauma include:
-loss of consciousness
-seizures
-vomiting
-no breathing nor pulse
-pupils of unequal size
-restlessness
-irritability
-pale complexion
-paralysis.
Her soreness is most likely due to a musculoskeletal injury or bone bruise from which she will recover in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
