Should I Be Worried For Insomnia In A Child After Falling Off The Steps?
Hi my son fell on his head from a second step of my stairs on Sunday afternoon. No bleeding or any other visible signs of injury on his head. He cried for a minute and was ok right after. However Monday night he didnt sleep all night and from time to time was rubbing the part of his head that he fell on. Should i be worried?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
After head injury whether severe or not the boy should be observed for drowsiness,vomiting and fits.
If the boy is OK without above symptoms for . 48 hours you need not worry.
Otherwise neurologist consultation is needed.
Hope this answer serves your purpose.
Further queries invited.
