Is this situation indicating that there's no need to worry if you haven't fallen head first?

Patient's question:

A 5-year-old boy was riding an electric scooter last Wednesday when he accidentally got hit by someone opening the car door, causing him and the child to fall to the right. It's unclear if the child fell and hit their head. At home, we carefully observed him for two days, and his mental state is normal, with no vomiting or loss of appetite. He's very lively, but I'm still worried if he might have hit his head without realizing it. Could this situation indicate that there's no need to worry about a head injury?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to clarify this for you. The situation you described should be fine, because if he had hit his head, he would have shown symptoms that day. Over the past two days, he has been active and energetic without any other symptoms, so it should be nothing to worry about. If you're still not at ease, you can have your child undergo a CT scan for a thorough examination, and everything will become clear.
This is the advice for the question "Reward 2 yuan [Male, 5 years old] Accidentally riding an electric scooter last Wednesday," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
