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 . Ottherwise application of ice locally to reduce the swelling and paign can be done along with some analgesic like paracetamol. Recurrent 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 commonly associated and can be easily missed out most of the time .

A. Still you should monitor the behaviour of the child for another 24 to 48 hours if you see anything is odd beyond the normal behaviour or sudden vomiting or something then it would be a matter of concern otherwise it would be good but just monitor it for at least 24 hoursWrite Your Answer Here
