Hi Doctor My Baby Girl Is 6 Month Old Now

i just want
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi Shafeeq,
I understand your concern
A fall from the bed is very unlikely to cause any significant internal injury in infants. If she had no loss of consciousness or recurrent vomiting following the fall, nothing to worry. The crying may be from pain, for which you can give her paracetamol. Give paracetamol drop(100mg/ml) 1ml 3 times a day for 2-3 days. She will be alright by then. If there is any swelling visible, applying ice pack for 48 hours will hasten resolution.
Let us observe her at home during next 24 hours for any signs of head injury- progressive drowsiness, recurrent vomiting, or any abnormal movements/posturing of limbs(suggesting seizure). If any such symptoms appear, take her to emergency without delay. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query
Let me know if I can assist you further
Dr Muhammed Aslam, Paediatrician
