Child Have Problem In Eating And Had A Hit In The Forehead?

My daughter hit her forehead while playing in bounce house and got really upset. She cried for 15 minutes and then tired herself out and fell asleep on the ride home. She hasn t wanted to eat much since she eoke today. Even before accident. We got home and she slept for an hour. She woke up and complained head felt better but still hurt. She also kept complaining her tummy hurt and she didn t want to eat anything. She drank some water and tried crackers. Then threw up. Only once. Since the. She is acting more like herself. Asking for food now. Is this head injury or just a run down kiddo fighting a stomach bug? She is three. And no issues all day with pupils, talking or walking. Please give advice.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your daughter had suffered from soft tissue injury of the head.

Pain will subside in few days time.
Rest will help in fast recovery.

Vomiting can occur after head injury.In her case, it can also be due to excessive crying or due to acidity as she was empty stomach for long duration.

If vomiting has not occurred again, you should not worry.
She should be well hydrated.

If symptoms like disorientation, giddiness, vomiting, persistent headache or any abnormal behavior occurs, you should seek urgent medical attention.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
