How to handle a child who has been walking for over 17 months and has fallen

Patient's question:

For over 17 months, the baby accidentally fell while walking and hit his mouth on the ground. He cried for a while and a little blood flowed. After one minute, the bleeding stopped and he stopped crying. Should it be okay? His answers are all good.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. If coaxing the child makes them stop crying and they are in a good mental state, there is no need to worry. If the child stops crying, then there is no major issue, and there won't be any fractures or other injuries. If they continue crying, there might be a problem. You can use iodine to disinfect the area where the child fell and kill the bacteria, and it should be fine. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 17-month-old baby falls while walking?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
