Backwards fall onto a hardwood floor My two year old fell back wards off a 2 foot stool on to hardwood floor. He cried right away but settle and started to play again. I woke him up every 2 hours last night to make sure he was ok. all went well. This am if he is not playing he want to snuggle and fall asleep. Should I be concerned?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. First be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly. But as he is preferring to sleep, I suggest you get him checked at the nearest emergency room, first thing in the morning. Regards -
