Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that your child seems to be fine, and there is no need to worry.

At present, there is no need to take him to the hospital. You can wait and watch at home for the following warning symptoms- severe headache, vomiting, double or blurred vision, fits, drowsiness, etc. If any of these occurs, then, you can take him to the hospital.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
