Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

Head trauma is, unfortunately, a common occurrence among children. However, most of them are not knocked unconscious and have a seizure.

Abdominal pain is not a typical sign of a concussion. When he fell, could he have hit his abdomen? Could he have stomach flu?

I recommend your friend have him seen by his primary care physician or at the ER if his condition is severe.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
