Though she is fine now and eating normally, I'm little concerned. Thank you in adavance!
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry, as there is very little chance of XXXXXXX brain injury in your child's case.
As of now, there is no need to take her to hospital.
Please watch for the following symptoms- repeated vomiting, drowsiness, poor feeding, any fits, decreased movement of any arm or leg. If she develops any of these symptoms, please take her to hospital and get a CT scan of the brain done.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
