Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the mode of play does not signify any grave threat of head injury to pause any symptoms on clinical grounds. However, following should be observed over a next period of 24 hours to rule out any side effect over brain tissue or structures:
- Development of nausea, vomiting
- Lethargy
- Decreased act of playing
- Drowsiness or excess sleeping
- Irritability
- Low food intake
- Shivering body or convulsions
- Rolling of eyeballs
- Low urine output (late stages)
If any of the above noticed, immediately consult his pediatrician or call 911 for emergency help.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
