Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your child has hematoma at injury site and it takes few days to settle.
Apply cold compressev give acetaminophen for pain relief.
Diarrhea is unrelated to fall .
Give oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stool,give coconut water,lemon water.

Watch for features of dehydration like decreased urine output/lethargy/refusal of feed and also keep an eye over warning features of head injury that is vomiting/bleeding from ear or nose/lethargy and in case you observe any get him evaluated by pediatrician.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless...

hello
As your baby doing yellow and watery potty, it is not associated with falling .
After falling if there is no vomiting and no convulsion so it is simple injury.
potty may be due to some gastrointestinal infection or may be due to food given to baby and there are so many causes , so if watery potty persist consult to a doctor
ok
take care
