Is Not Having Milk After Falling Cause Concern For A 15 Months Old?

My daughter is 15 months old. She fell about an hour ago on her fisher price house and hit right at her cheek bone and ear. She cried for about a minute, we put ice on it and watched her. There is just a little swelling where she hit. Her balance seems to be fine and she is acting normal. She didn t drink all of her milk before bed, but not sure if this is related. Is her fall cause for concern?

Hello

What to look for in a head injury:

Call the doctor if your child is an infant; has lost consciousness, even momentarily;
or if a child of any age has any of these symptoms:
~won't stop crying
~complains of head and neck pain
~vomits repeatedly
~difficult to awaken
~becomes difficult to console
~isn't walking normally

in your case its seems to be an external head in jury not internal.so i don't think there is a reason to panic.just watch your child for any symptoms.

Hope this answer helps.

Regards
Dr. Shesh
