Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First be reassured that your kid is normal.
I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behavior.
6. Excessive sleepiness
If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury.
Best regards -
