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 fxbor 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. Hello dear parent! Try cold compress on the paining area. Iodex is not advisable. Check for any discomfort symptoms like nausea or crankiness or fever. If there is any discomfort better consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand
