Suggest Remedy For Neck Pain In A Child After A Fall
My five year old son fell outut of a tree this afternoon and landed on his head. I m guessing he fell about five or six feet. He didn t cry at all, just got up and kept on playing. I wouldn t even have known about it except that his sister told me later. Tonight he says that his neck hurts, but only when he leans forward or looks way down. He had been acting fine, playing normally all day. Should I be concerned? What other symptoms should I be watching for?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ideally head injury need to be taken seriously and it need to be kept under observation for couple of days because anything could happen later on after the injury, now keep your eye open for alternation is sensorium, vomiting, convulsion could occurs, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
