Hello dear ,
thanks for your query at health care magic,
if there is serious injury child will have drowsy ness, vomitings, altered sensorium, seizures, and excessive cry.
if there are any above mentioned symptoms please take your child to emergency deaprtment and get CT or MRI scan done that will rule out any serious injury.
if not do not worry mild injury child may have excess sleep
but keep watch on the child
regards.
