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 lead to some chronic manifestations ovccasionally . Also teeth injury should bbe 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 is not much pain then swelling will also heal. Just massage the area carefully and slowly and you can wrap crepe bandage for sweeli g to subside. And do not let him walk, run or jump alot. Let him sit as much as possible. Consult with your paediatric if necessary
