How to handle a child's head injury from a fall

Patient's question:

Fell off the bed while napping, occasionally crying at night

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your child fell from a height two days ago. At night, there have been occasional crying and restlessness. If there is no vomiting or change in consciousness, there is no need to worry. It may be due to shock. It is recommended to closely monitor your child's appetite, consciousness, and other conditions. If vomiting or unconsciousness occurs, seek medical attention immediately for a head CT scan to rule out the possibility of a contusion or hematoma.
