Should I Worry About My Daughter Getting A Concussion After An Accidental Head Injury?
An 8 x 10 picture fell on my 25 year old daughter’s head (back of the head) during the night. She has a headache and is tired. Her eyes are responsive and she did go to work. Should we worry about a concussion? What other symptoms would be concerning.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The headache is normal after the head concussion.
I suggest using Tylenol for the pain every six hours.
I also suggest using cold compresses and rest.
If the pain continue for several days you can see a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
