Could A Slight Twitch Of Head In An Infant Be A Matter Of Concern?
My 9 month old daughter was climbing up the coffee table when she slipped hit herself between the eyes on the leg. She cried for a moment and was okay within a minute. She has no kind of mark from hitting her head. She has not been sleepy and has been acting normal and happy. but occasionally her head will slightly twitch as if she has the chills or something. I just want to see if I should be worried and head to hospital or I should not be so worried.

Hello dear, welcome to HCM forum.
this is not a feature of head injury. If she had no history of loss of consciousness and no features like drowsiness, vomiting, irritability etc, you need not worry-just wait and watch. If the twitching persist beyond 2 days, kindly get her examined by your doctor.
Hope this answer will help.
Thank you.
