Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Signs Of Concussion To Look For Post Heavy Fall?
I put my five month old boy stomach down in the middle of our large bed to brush my hair in the bathroom. It was only about less than 2 minutes when i heard a loud bang and my baby s wailing. I ran to him to find him face up on the hard floor crying. He fell off the bed about 24 inches high. It only took a couple minutes to calm him and get him smiling again. It has been about 34 hours since and hadn t found any bruises, bumps, or marks. His pupils are the same and dilate normally, i believe. He seems to be okay and hadn t called the doctor. Could it be possible that he could have a fracture or concussion that i don t know about even if he is not showing signs? The only different thing with him today is that he was extra fussy(though his first tooth is protruding), and when i stand him onto his legs he seems to want to drop them or bounce instead of standing still, but it could just be a new fun thing for him.I know this is alot to read but wanted to share all the details to get the best answer. -Thanks
There is no loss of conciousness ,no ent bleed, no obvious neurological deficit in child. Would be safe to get ct brain done. Observe him for any danger signs like loss of conciousness, excess irritability , persistent vomiting. Give syrup paracetamol for pain relief. Regards
