Does Getting Hit In The Soft Spot For A Child Cause Problems?

Hi. My daughter is ten months old. I was walking by her when my cell phone slipped out of my hands and hit her on the top of the head on her soft spot. She cried but has since then stopped and is acting/playing normally. Is there any need for concern?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
I don't think that there is hardly anything to worry about.
Usually the cell phone because of its light weight doesn't cause any serious injury.
In spite of my explanation if you are still worried about the injury, please observe the infant for 48 hours for drowsiness,vomiting or convulsions.
If any of the above are present then you may consult pediatrician/neurologist.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
