5 month old rolled off bed hit the back of her head cried and i gave her tylenol right after 45 min later was naptime she was very tired but thats normal when she takes tylenol and normal for her to be groggy after 15-20 min she was fine talking smiling sat up like normal stood when held up mostly normal she was groggy but i cant tell if its tylenol or concussion. i know even to wake her shes going to passout again shes so tired will she be ok?
Because it would be difficult at that age to determine if there are any symptoms of head trauma, it would be best to take her to be assessed by her doctor.
At this age fractures can occur with minor trauma and brain injuries can sometimes occur with no symptoms.
Her doctor will examine her and determine if any further testing such as imaging is necessary.
