What Are The Symptoms Of An Internal Brain Injury?

My friend s little boy is in a wheelchair. The apartment complex doesn t have wheelchair access so he normally gets carried up and down the stairs while in his chair. Well I was carrying him up the concrete stairs and my foot got caught on the top step which caused me to drop the chair with him in it. The chair rolled down a step and fell forward. He ended up cutting up his chin, lips and nose. His chin required stitches. He didn t hit his head at all but is it possible he could have a head or brain injury? He never lost conciousness.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Judging by your description it is highly unlikely for him to have sustained any brain injury. However just in case since you are wondering symptoms which would indicate brain injury would include intense increasing headache with vomiting, seizures, double vision or visual loss, speech issues, weakness of both limbs on one side, confusion or changes in behavior.

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