However minor a head injury may seem, it is important to watch the patient carefully for the first few hours.
- Keep the patient calm and resting
- Take the patient to the hospital emergency department immediately in case of repeated vomiting, loss of consciousness, seizures, or blood or fluid from the nose or ears
- Do not ignore drowsiness or unusual behaviour after the injury
