Welcome to health care magic. Thank you for posting your question.
I can understand your concern for your son.
DO NOT WORRY . There is not much to panic.
Yes he must have got hurt , that's why he cried hard.
But since he is now normal and crawling gleefully , you don't have to worry.
If he develops fever soon or has convulsions or vomiting , take him to a paediatrician. If there is much pain , give him syrup Paracetamol (125mg/5ml) - 3/4 th spoon once daily for 2-3 days .
Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
