Pediatrician, Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK's Response

Hi,

I don't think the present symptoms are related to fall, as it is already 1 week after and there is no local pain / tenderness. Dizziness, chest tightness and nausea all can be part of a viral prodrome. Let her take bed rest, drink plenty of oral fluids and have a soft diet.

Take paracetamol if fever comes, and ondansetron 4mg tablet 2-3 times a day for any vomiting. If not getting better by 2-3 days, kindly take her to doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
