What Causes Red Spots Behind The Neck After A Head Injury?
My 15 month old son fell off the couch directly onto his head and his neck bent, it looked like a headstand, he has some red spots on the back of his neck and he also has a few pretty decent bumps on his neck as well. I kept him up for about an hour after the fall then he fell asleep in the car for about 2 hours (we were at a friends) then he refused to be put down only wanting to be held. Should I bring him in to the dr?

Hello,
Consult a neurosurgeon and plan for a CT head to rule out possible causes like mastoid fracture as it can present with similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
