A. If your child has a head bump from hitting the floor, it’s important to monitor them closely. First, apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the bump for 15-20 minutes to help reduce swelling and relieve pain. Avoid putting ice directly on the skin to prevent frostbite. Watch for any signs of more serious injury, such as increased swelling, severe headache, confusion, dizziness, vomiting, difficulty waking up, or unusual behavior. If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately. It's also a good idea to keep your child awake for a short period after the injury to observe their condition. If they seem fine after a few hours, they can return to their normal activities, but avoid any rough play for the next few days. If you have any concerns or if the bump does not improve, consult your pediatrician for further evaluation.
