Should I Be Worried About Drowsiness In My Child After A Fall?
My daughter is 16 months was in the other room and we geard her fall sounded real hard on the wood floor. Right after we werent surr if she threw up or if she was still eating her snack when she fell and het snack was just never swallowed. Then she was extremely tired. We heard that if a baby falls real hard to not let them sleep for a couple hours after she falls. But we tried to keep her awake and she fell asleep anyyways. But is still breathing. Should i be worried?
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern. First be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury - 1. Vomiting continuously 2. Seizures 3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose 4. Unconsciousness 5. Altered sensorium or behaviour. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
