Is it a possible concussion? Brother just fell?!
Question: About an hour ago, my little brother fell while he was ice skating with his friends and cut his forehead right above his eyebrow.
I don't know how bad the cut is... the paramedics got to the rink and bandaged him up before my dad and I arrived... but they told us he'd probably need a few stitches. He's 14, by the way.
My brother didn't go unconsious, and he seems to be doing ok, but won't tell us if anything's wrong, and I'm worried. He's at the hospital right now .
Just help me out, because I'm sitting here all worried. Is there a chance he was a mild concussion? What should we watch out for?
Thanks in advance...

the doctors at the hospital will examine him for signs of concussion, it is standard procedure in any head injury situation. He won't have to tell them a thing, they can see the physical symptoms. Don't worry, he will be alright.
