Should I worry :/

[Ashley1489]

Me and my son we're playing (wrestling) and he accidentally kicked me in the head at the base of my skull this happened 15 mins ago... Should I be worried???

Ashley, you should put an ice pack on the back of the head or a frozen package of peas or corn.

15 min. on and 15 off Just to reduce any swelling that may form.

I was worried about a concussion

Did your son have shoes on?

Do you feel a bump on the back of the head.

The ice pak will stop the swelling as well as any bruising under the skin.

Any other symptoms?

[Ashley1489]

No shoes. No symptoms other then freaking myself out

[Agora1 in reply to Ashley1489]

I think you will be okay Ashley. The cold paks tonight for a while and then switch to warm paks tomorrow if there is any soreness. I think the bigger problem right now is the freaking out. Try doing some deep breathing and maybe doing something to get your mind off what happened. x

And no bump just a little sore no swelling

I’d only worry if he meant to kick you😊 I’m kidding, just lightening up the worrying.....

I do believe you will be just fine. I have been hit in the head more times than I can count....the thing to do is to use an ice pack like previously stated. Don’t worry yourself to death. If headache occurs take Tylenol or Ibuprofen....if you haven’t blacked out, had a bout of amnesia or fatigue you don’t have a concussion. Please keep us updated

Hi Ashley1489, Just checking in. How's your head feeling this morning? x

[Ashley1489]

I'm good. Just a little sore that's all

Hey Ashley,

Sorry to hear that happened to you. When I was little I was playing with my Mom in the basement and I kicked her in the ear so hard it was ringing for weak and really bothered her but she was fine. Kids do these things by accident I’m sure you’ll be ok just use some ice on it and try to sit and rest for a while
