Does it have a big impact if a child falls out of a stroller?

Patient's question:

Yesterday when I got off the bus, my bag got caught on the door. At the time, I was holding a stroller, and as a result, the little baby fell out of it. He landed face down. When I picked him up, he didn't cry or show any reaction, but after I tapped him twice, he started crying. After crying, he wanted to take a nap, but I didn't comfort him and just let him cry for a while. Will this cause any major problems?

Doctor's answer:

You can carefully observe the infant or young child for any signs of nausea, vomiting, or mental abnormalities. Compared to normal, does the baby sleep longer than usual or seem constantly drowsy? Carefully observe the baby's limb movements for any disabilities. You can gently push the baby's limbs to see how they react with crying. If none of the above symptoms are present, there is no need to be too upset. If you are still worried, please go to a regular hospital for a head CT scan to check thoroughly.
