Accepted Answer

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 gt fall injury for a child should be avoided as it can lead to some chronic manifestations occasionally .
Alsog teeth injury should be rule out in any such case which is commonly associated  and can be easily missed out most of the time .
