Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Falling Down Form A Small Height Be Harmful For A Child?
i was shaking my 3-year-old daughter in a pouch as if it is a rocket to take off and the handle came off making her fall faster than gravity speed and land on her head. she aid what just happened and seemed a little off mind. She fallen on a grassy ground. it was a soft ground but the speed she hit her had was fast as. She did not cry right away. I got so scared that i hurt her, i coundt talk. took her to wife and explained my wife what just happened. and my daughter started crying. Wife calmed her down and gave her apple juice. talked to her and she was answering everything. Should i be worried and take her to doctor. this happened last week.
thanks for your question. If your daughter has been fine for the last week after the injury then it is very unlikely that she has a serious head injury.
The signs you would look out for, that would necessitate a medical review, would be a worsening headache, visual disturbance, confusion or drowsiness and vomiting.
