What Could The Loud Popping Sound From Neck After A Fall In A Child Mean?
Hi, my 3 year old granddaughter was playing and fell at an angle hitting her nose and jolting her head upward. A few days later, she was nodding her head up and down and I heard a popping in the upper neck area. Very loud and solid sounding. No abnormal signs since her fall, just the awful popping noise. What could it be?
