Delayed onset of symptoms may occur a few hours or days after the injury. The delayed symptoms involve all the physical, emotional and cognitive changes. The symptoms of<unk>  can differ between babies, toddlers and older children. Babies, aged from birth to one-year-old, are usually unable to communicate their pain or emotions verbally. Therefore, more physical symptoms of<unk>  will be administered. This includes excessive crying when slightly moving the baby’s head, different portrayal of irritability such as persistent crying, fever, or poor appetite, distinctive changes in the baby’s sleeping habits, vomiting, or a visible physical injury on the baby’s head. Toddlers, aged from 12 to 36 months, might be able to communicate vocally about symptoms. Symptoms will potentially include a headache, nausea, vomiting as physical symptoms. The portrayal of behavioral changes, such as a sudden change in sleeping patterns or excessive crying, and a loss of interest, such as hobbies, may also be seen. In older children, aged two or more, a<unk>  may lead to detectable modifications in the patients’ cognition and behavior. Similar to toddlers, they may be vocal about symptoms. This includes feelings of dizziness, problems balancing, having blurry vision, increased sensitivity to light and noise, trouble paying attention, difficulty in memory, various mood changes, fatigue, and irregular sleep patterns.
