12 year old child received head injury kicking in bed and kicked a wooden stand that hold beanie babies off her wall.....violent sleeper. It landed on the upper right part of her head....not on the side. She has gooseegg.....had ice pack on it for 25 minutes. Goose egg is minimal now. Will wake her up every 2 hours all night to make sure she does not have concussion.....any other suggestions?

That is more than enough. Give her some ibuprofen if she has a headache or pain. You do not need to wake her up every 2 hours as this is rather often. Just wake her up once during the night to ask her a question that only she would know the answer to such as what is our dogs name etc.

you heck for concussion by holding a light to the eye to see if the pupils are dilated, not by waking the kid up every now and then. You do that only if you are sure the kid has concussion. Is the kid coherent, knows date- time name- number of fingers

goose egg is good , if she starts vomiting she needs a doctor also check her pupils in her eyes 1 at a time if 1 is larger then the other take her to the doctor

If you are worried that she may have a concussion you do not need to let her fall asleep. If she is having trouble seeing or a sever head ache, you need to get her to the ER.

Why aren't you asking her doctor this question?
