That&#39;s a very good question. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/26/head.injury.emergency/index.html">This article</a>, about a seven-year-old girl who experienced an epidural hematoma but had no symptoms for two days, gives a list of what to watch for after someone has suffered a head injury. Symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, headache and confusion, and sudden changes in symptoms, are the red flags.</p> <p>And you&#39;ll also be happy to know that the little&#39;s girls parents, alerted to the dangers of head injury by a news report about Natasha, were able to get her to&nbsp;a doctor in time, and she&#39;s fine now.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1383" width="1" height="1">healthinjurymedicinenews
