How To Test For Amnesia After A Head Injury?

My 15 yr old son was playing football at lunch with friends, he does not remember what happened, no one really knows, he hit his head some how, went to the nurse, could not remember what day it was or if he ate lunch or not, he thought is was the last day of school (which it is not) he doesn t remember working last night and when we came home he asked if we got new carpet which we just installed last weekend. Pupil s are fine can t find and bump or bruising should he be seen?

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

amnesia are possible after an head injury. which usually will revert back to normal within few days if a mild contrition of brain. Any way it is better to consult a neurosurgeon and take an CT scan of head and brain to rule out any intra-cranial issues.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
