I slipped in the driveway due to some ice and landed on my back and hit my head?!


Question: this happened around 330 this afternoon and its now almost 8 pm and my head is pounding. my Mom won't let me go to sleep because shes scared i might have a concussion... any tips or does anyone know what i should do? I have a chest cold as well so my original plan was to take tylenol pm and go to bed but now she has me worried.

Take some headache medicine. If you're really worried about a concussion, go to the hospital. It's not something to fool around with it could be serious.

I think your Mom should take you to the emergency room to be checked out. My grandmother slipped and fell by a swimming pool and had to be hospitalized because she had bleeding in her brain. She had a bad headache but didn't go to the doctor until a few hours after she fell. It's usually better to be safe and go see a doctor.

Let us know if you're okay! :)
