A. it is important to keep the child for observation for at least 48 hours and if the child develops danger signs like severe headache or excessive crying or excessive vomiting or abnormal movements or lethargy or seizures then kindly meet your doctor immediately for examination. c if none of above danger signs are present then you can follow wait and watch policy c for pain you can give paracetamol which will help in also decreasing swelling on the head. also apply ice locally.

A. Hello dear parent! As long as your baby is active and normal there is nothing to worry. Keep observing your baby for any discomfort symptoms. Keep your doctor posted about any changes or developments. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating.
