A child who is increasingly restless, agitated or combative after a head bump could be a sign that the head injury was more serious, and they should get a medical review urgently.
Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that there are several types of head injuries - a concussion may bring a brief loss of awareness or alertness; a contusion causes brain bruising and swelling; and a skull fracture is a break in the skull bone.
