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 lyhead to some chronic manifestations occasionally . Also teeth injury should be ruule out in any such case which is commonly associated and can be easily missed out most of the time .

A. Just monitor the behaviour of a child for another 48 hours if you see anything or like suddenly vomiting or anything which is not normal as per you then please consult your doctor because sometimes these things can happen due to internal injury as well so you just monitor the behaviour very closelyWrite Your Answer Here
