A Warning About Head Injuries on Kids

With all the talk going on about head injuries sustained by professional athletes, you might be wondering if your little athlete is at risk. Providence Saint Vincent Head of Child Neurology, Doctor Parvayz Pohowalla says the answer is yes, especially in sports with heavy contact, like football or hockey.

The CDC lists other signs and symptoms on their website.
