Explanation

After a hard blow to the head, watch for signs that the brain or skull may be seriously injured: bleeding from the nose or ears, confusion, unequal pupils, trouble staying alert, and slurred speech. These symptoms can indicate a serious head injury and call for urgent medical help. Broken bones may also need care, but they do not specifically show how severe the head injury is.
