Doctor's answer:

Hello, this 7-year-old child fell off the bed, especially when he fell on his head, please be aware of the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage or concussion, so you need to closely monitor the child's mental state. If your child has a headache, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, or even drowsiness, it could indicate brain damage. It is recommended to consult a hospital for further evaluation and undergo a CT scan to rule out intracranial injury.
