Need Advice On Pain In Neck With Bump On Head
Hi...my 6 year old son told me he fell at school yesterday and bumped his head. He said his head hurts and now he has a stiff neck. I have given him Tylenol, and planned to take him to drs tomorrow. it's 3 am and he just woke up crying about his neck hurting...should I be taking him to the emergency room?

Hi,
As 24 hours passed with no any cerebral signs like vomiting, nausea, confusion etc there is less likely of having any problem in the brain.
C/o having neck pain might be due to strain on neck muscles giving this problem.
Give him Tylenol for pain.
In the morning you can consult your doctor.
Ok and take care.
