Thanks for your query.

Doctor, middle of the phone was on eye lower part of the phone on upper cheek phone just below eyes and phone upper part on forehead.

There is no redness inside the eye. So doctor should dont we worry on both head and eye issue?

I could not stop worrying since last night. Baby is sleeping from morning so now i am worried whether there is head injury. I am scared doctor.

Brief Answer:
Get examined

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I would recommend you to visit your pediatrician who can examine the baby to ascertain the health.

Based on the force you describe, I do not think it can ham seriously.

But hands on examination is much better than any.

Wish you good health.
