Can symptoms appear later in children after an accident?
Short Answer
Quick guidance
Yes. Some symptoms may take hours or days to appear, especially when a child is scared, tired, or too young to explain what they feel.
Full Answer
Symptoms can appear later in children after a crash, fall, or impact. The CDC notes that concussion signs and symptoms may not show up right away and can be harder to spot in young children because they may not be able to communicate how they feel. Parents should monitor physical symptoms, thinking changes, mood changes, sleep changes, and behavior that feels unusual for that child.
