Is Headache And Dizziness In A Child After Hit On Head Normal?

Hi, about 6 weeks ago on holiday my daughter hit her head on a tiled floor and cut her eye open just below the eye brow. Ever since it happened she now complains of headaches and tonight she is complaining of dizziness with a feeling like she's tipping.

Hi,
Thanks for the question.
Headache and dizziness after any head injury is not normal. These kind of problems may not arise immediately but take few days or weeks to appear.
I would suggest you to meet your doctor as she needs proper checkup and further tests if required.
Hope that help.
Thanks
