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 movement or convulsions.in such case it needs immediate medical intervention as there could be some internal injury .otherwise application of ice locally to relieve 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 manifestations occasionally . Also teeth injury shvfallould be rule out in any such case which is commonly associated and can be easily missed out most of the time .

A. Hello dear parent! If there are no discomfort symptoms like nausea or crankiness or fever, unable to eat foods then it is alright. Be careful with small babies. If you are still concerned better consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Good luck and take care.
