My son stepped backward and fell of bed. He hit his head on the corner of the night stand and had a pretty large bump almost immediately. Iced it for a while, seems to be better. He cried immediately, but was over it in a minute or so. Its sensitive to the touch, but he didn t have any issues letting me keep ice on it. Unfortunately, it was about 30 mins before bed time and he had no nap today so he was pretty tired. He is 3.5 years old. Should I be taking him to the ER?
Hello, First, be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery or bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior.  If none of them is present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
