My 11 month old son mostly fall down either slips by crawling and always hits his head. Is there any problem that can happen to him in future?

A. Hello, there will not be very serious injury because the distance would be very less from head to floor and by nature children with this age group would be having sufficient fluid in there head so there will not be such major problem. simultaneously we should be there for them.

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. Recurrent fall injury for a child should be avoided as it can lead to some chronic manifesta notions 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. please do not worry I completely understand your concern even my three year old little one also used to do the same when she was around this age and it continued on his little two years of age so now she is perfectly fine and there is no such thing as the child will get any kind of trouble in future however in case you see is that your child is not able to walk properly you can always consult with your pediatrician once
