Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain Caused After A Fall

Our 5 year old son bumped his head on a metal bar above an 8 foot slide and lost his balance and fell off slide onto sand. He fell onto his side. He cried for 5-10 minutes. His eyes seem to be dilating fine. He is not in pain to the touch on his side or back. He was alert, able to see and speak clearly, After about an hour after the incident, He said he said he has a stomach ache, but went to bed easily as it was 2 hrs past bedtime. There are no bumps on his head. He is not complaining of other pain. We are out of town on vacation in a remote area. We plan to wake him once tonight to make certain that he is able to be woken fairly easily. Are there other symptoms we should keep an eye out for? Are there possible injuries we should look out for? We plan to call our pediatrician in the morning.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. What you are doing now is fine. You should be watchful of his level of consciousness from time to time and report immediately in case of any change other than a normal sleep. On his stomach ache, you have to see the pain does not increase in intensity, and he is comfortable eating and going to the washroom. In case of increase in the pain abdomen or tightness on palpation due to tenderness, you might have to report to the nearest ER.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your child's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
