Hey there, I was just bathing my 4month daughter and as I was getting he out I slipped on the wet floor, causing her to go under for a moment and also unfortunately causing her to bump her head on the bath also. She has a red bump on her head, and is a little lethargic (although she is due to go to sleep as well) Should I keep her awake? or can she go to sleep while I monitor her closely? I have also given her panadol to help with the pain she may be feeling after the bump.
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 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 every 4-6th hourly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
