One of the children I’m (female, 18) babysitting (male, 11 years) flipped and hit his head on the street. He couldn’t stand at first and I literally had to hold him up and carry him so he could lay in the car. He eventually was able to stumble to the house and put ice on his head. It’s been awhile and he still has to hold onto things to walk. He says his getting worse but the nausea he was feeling is a hit better but is still there. Only one pupil dilates when light is flashed in eyes. Does this means he has a concussion and if so what should I do?

If someone is drunk falls and hits their head, no blood just a bump. Paitent wants to go to sleep.

Any type of head trauma requires a medical work-up to rule to rule out life threatening conditions such as an intracranial bleed or a concussion. This is especially true for individuals who fall when intoxicated. Therefore, prompt medical evaluation is advised in this case.
