Full transcript
Your son hit his head at the skate park about two hours ago. Can you tell me exactly what happened right after he fell, and whether anyone saw it?
Alikuwa akiendesha sketi bodi na akaanguka, akapiga kichwa chake sakafuni ngumu. Rafiki yake alikuwa karibu na alimuona akianguka, na mara moja alianza kulia sana.
Did he lose consciousness at any point, even briefly, and has he vomited or complained of a headache since the fall?
Hapana, sidhani alipoteza fahamu kabisa, lakini ametapika mara moja, dakika ishirini baada ya kuanguka, na anasema kichwa chake kinauma sana.
We'll keep him here at Bendigo Hospital for four hours of observation. A CT scan isn't needed right now unless his symptoms change or worsen.
Je, hamna haja ya kumfanyia uchunguzi wa CT scan sasa hivi? Ninaogopa asiwe na jeraha la ndani ambalo halionekani wazi.
No, a scan isn't necessary at this stage — his pupils are equal and he's alert and talking normally. We'll only order one if he becomes drowsy or confused.
Naelewa. Basi, anaweza kurudi shuleni lini? Na je, anaweza kucheza mchezo wowote wa viungo wiki hii?
He should rest at home and skip school and sport until Monday. Come back immediately if he vomits again, seems unusually sleepy, or complains of worsening headache.
Nimeelewa vizuri, tutamweka nyumbani hadi Jumatatu. Je, ni sawa kumpa dawa ya panadol iwapo ana maumivu ya kichwa?
Give him paracetamol every four to six hours if he's uncomfortable, but avoid ibuprofen for the next two days, since it can increase bruising and bleeding risk.
Asante sana daktari, tutafuata maelekezo yote na tutarudi haraka hospitalini iwapo hali yake itabadilika au kuwa mbaya zaidi.
