A. Any Fall injury specially head injury needs to be assessed properly . In any such case certain symptoms needs to be checked like loss of consciousness reccurrent vomiting or any abnormal moment or convulsions . Such case needs immediate medical intervention as there could be some internal injury . Otherwise application of ice locally to reduce the swelling and pain can be done along with some analgesic like paracetamol. Recurrenvit fall injury for a child should be avoided as it can lead to some chronic manifestations occasionally . Also teeth injury should be rule out in any such case which is commvonly associated and can be easily missed out most of the time .

A. Resting and elevating the injured area to prevent swelling and to relieve pain. Applying ice packs for the first 24 to 48 hours after injury. ... Applying a heating pad or warm compress to the injured area after two days. ...
