What Symptoms Be Occurred After Hitting By A Bottle In A Baby?
my 2 week old baby had a water bottle dropped on him from a height no higher than the handle of his car seat. he cried but i was able to comfort him. since he has been alert, has eaten and seems fine. i am concerned about possible bleeding in the brain as i do not know wether the bottle hit him in the face or chest. what are the warning signs? should i be worried about any other condition/symptoms?

Hi Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
In case the child has episodes of continuous vomiting, irritability , change in sensorium, bleeding or clear fluids from ear or nose,( and worst is a seizure), you need to visit your doctor.
If any of this symptoms present he needs to undergo a Neuroimaging to rule out bleed. Else do not worry. And next 48-72 hours monitor for above symptoms.
