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. Recfurrent 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 whgich is commonly associated and can be easily missed out most of the time .

A. U C3 if it is quite a distance and then you are saying that your child got hit on the head so monitor your child for at least 24 hours if you see anything abnormal or sudden vomiting or something then get a check with your doctor for a you know sometimes that can be signed for internal injury as well
