I was taught that younger children don't often describe pain very well.. so we used to have standard 'watch out for 'cards, included head ache, slurred speech, drowsiness, vomitting etc then uneven pupils... the kid probably did have a headache too...but with everyone fussing over his little friend he didn't mention it he certainly managed to vomit though
rowan mmmmm! maybe!
I just have the impression that the poster has had a head injury or someone he knows, has been seen at A&E and concussion diagnosed. Since then, the patient has had difficulty with speech and he wants to know if that is normal.
Head injury......no headache but slurring of speech......no big deal.
Head injury........severe headache with slurring of speech........BIG DEAL.
I am only guessing that that is the OP´s scenario.
