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 donekf 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. Hello mom If your baby is behaving normally and their art note, any changes in babies feeding habit, then every thing is fine and nothing to worry about. Sometimes it happens but you have to be very careful from next time. Now you baby will start moving and rolling for it will happen very often.
