Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms of your child seem to be related to concussion after the accident.
Some symptoms that you should evaluate are:
Weakness, numbness, slurred speech.
Difficulty with eye movements.
Worsening or severe headache.
Seizure.
Vomiting multiple times.
In this case you should go at the emergency room.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
