Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. This is a very common occurrence in may homes. The fact that she cried immediately and didn't lose consciousness is the best sign. The next think to look for is vomiting within the first 24 hours after the fall. If you see this, you should contact your doctor immediately. If not, then you don't have to worry.
