Should I Be Worried About The Pain In Stomach After A Fall?

My grandson fell from about a foot high and did a belly flop onto a thin foam playmat. It s been about 15 minutes and he s still complaining of pain and won t stand up straight. Should he be taken to the ER for a checkup? My email address is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you.

Hi,

If he is not able to put the weight on his limb than there are high chances he will get fracture somewhere.

Please go to the ER as soon as possible for assessment.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
