A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even what seems to be a mild blow to the head can be serious.</div> <div style="text-align: center"> </div> <div> <br /> <strong>What are some warning signs of a concussion? — For Immediate Attention Call 911</strong><br /> </div> <div> <u><strong>Signs Observed by a Parent/Guardian </strong></u></div> <ul> <li> Appears dazed or stunned</li> <li> Is confused about assignment or position</li> <li> Forgets sports plays</li> <li> Is unsure of game, score, or opponent</li> <li> Moves clumsily</li> <li> Answers questions slowly</li> <li> Loses consciousness (even briefly)</li> <li> Shows behavior or personality changes</li> <li> Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall</li> <li> Can’t recall events after hit or fall</li> </ul> <div> <br /> <u><strong>Signs Reported by the Athlete</strong></u></div> <ul> <li> Headache or “pressure” in the head</li> <li> Nausea or vomiting</li> <li> Balance problems or dizziness</li> <li> Double or blurry vision</li> <li> Sensitivity to light</li> <li> Sensitivity to noise</li> <li> Feeling sluggish, hazy, or groggy</li> <li> Concentration or memory problems</li> <li> Confusion Does not "feel right"</li> </ul> <u><strong>What should you do if you think a concussion has occurred?</strong></u><br /> <br /> 1. Seek medical attention right away. A health care professional will be able to decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe to return to play.<br /> <br /> 2. Keep your child out of play until medically cleared. Concussions take time to heal. Don’t let your child return to play until a health care professional says it’s okay. Children who return to play too soon, while the brain is still healing, risk a greater chance of having a second concussion. Second or later concussions can be very serious. They can cause permanent brain damage, affecting your child for a lifetime.<br /> <br /> 3. Inform all coaches about any recent concussions. Coaches should know if your child has had a recent concussion. Your child’s coach may not know about a concussion your child received in another sport or activity unless you tell them.<br /> <br /> 4. Help your child return to sports safely after a concussion. As your child’s symptoms decrease, the extra help or support can be removed gradually. Children and teens who return to activities after a concussion may need to:<br /> <ul> <li> Take rest breaks as needed;</li> <li> Spend fewer hours at activities;</li> <li> and If in doubt, sit it out!</li> </ul> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br> <p><hr>We hope you found this message to be useful.
