Thanks for the query.
Fall from the height of less than 2 feet are not risky generally.
You try some medicine like brufen for pain , if other things are normal like no vomiting, diziness, altered behaviour.
Pain may be there for 2 to 3 days due to truama and inflammation.
See a doctor if problem persists.
Get the stich done asap.
Hope i helped you.
