http://www. familydoctor.org, a Website sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, advises that "It's normal to have a headache and nausea, and feel dizzy right after a head injury. Other symptoms include ringing in the ears, neck pain, and feeling anxious, upset, irritable, depressed or tired." Note that "It's normal" means that "it's common and is not necessarily a grave sign." The most important issue is that when brain injury is known or suspected, the child should be seen by a physician. Injury to the brain can occur even when there are few or no visible signs of injury to the outside of the skull, as when a child is wearing a protective helmet and sustains shocks to the head. Why? Because the brain can bounce around inside the skull, causing injury as it rebounds from surface to surface. No one urges a parent to panic when there is the possibility of brain injury in a child, but everyone urges caution in paying attention to symptoms such as headaches, listlessness, balance problems, or throwing up.

An open head wound may have small worms in it due to the presence of maggots, which are the larvae of flies, particularly blowflies. These flies are attracted to decaying tissue and open wounds, laying their eggs there. The larvae feed on the necrotic tissue, which can help in cleaning the wound in some medical contexts, but their presence often indicates a lack of proper wound care and can lead to infections. It's crucial to seek medical attention for any open wound to prevent complications.

Stitches for a head wound typically come out between 7 to 14 days after the procedure, depending on the severity of the wound and the doctor's recommendation. If the area does not appear to be healing properly or shows signs of infection (like increased redness, swelling, or discharge), it's important to contact your healthcare provider for evaluation. They can assess whether the stitches should be removed sooner or if further treatment is needed. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions regarding wound care and follow-up.
