Does Head Injury Result In Daze?

My daughter fell and hit her head on the sidewalk. She has a huge egg on the side of her head near the back. She says it hurts but has not thrown up. Eyes look normal. She said it was like a dream so she may have been out or dazed. Recommendations?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The smacks over head is always cushioned by hair and the sutures of the skull from reaching the brain itself. If there is contusion and swelling, that actually is a good sign. The blood vessels in that area ruptures and helps cushion the impact. The swelling shall come down within two days or so. I hope you washed the area with cool water.

Daze and confusion do occur after the impact and it is actually the way body reacts to pain and agony. Wherever you get hit, there shall be daze or confusion. Therefore, in my opinion, there may not be anything to worry. Still for accurate confirmation, you shall consult your orthopedist.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
