Is Diarrhea Normal After Concussion In Child?

My 3 year old daughter suffered a minor concussion yesterday which was diagnosed at the hospital. She seems mentally fine today but has had several bouts of diarrhea. Is this a normal after affect of a concussion or should I be worried and calling my pediatrician?

Hi.... Many thanks for consulting with HCM. Usually vomiting is common after concussion...not diarrhea. But if its not disturbing the daily activities & the urine output is good.. Dont worry about diarrhea.. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Feel free to consult at HCM whenever needed.
