Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache In A Seven Year Old Child
My seven year old son hit his head on a brick wall at school today at around 11.30 so six hours ago. He came home from school as he felt sick and his head began to ache. Now he is still complaining about the headache being bad. He appeared to hit it on the top left side I believe. Wondering if i should take him to after hours care..
