Should I Be Concerned Over My Daughter Who Fell On Her Chin?

What do you if my daughter run and fell on her chin during gym? She is alomost 5 years old. I was told that she was upset and cried. She fell fine afterwards. When I picked her, she was fine. She ate her dinner and played as usual? Please your suggestions.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that she should be clinically examined and investigated for any swelling or tenderness.

If clinically she is normal and if she is behaving normally, you should not feel much concerned.

Pain, if present will subside by applying cold compress. If severe, , painkillercan be given under medical supervision only.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
