Is There Anything To Worry About A Painless Dent On Head Caused By Fall In A 1 Year Old Child?

Hi my baby is 1 years old and my niece was spinning around with him in a computer chair crazy I know but they both fell and my baby fell on his back and hit his head. Immediately there was crying but after a minute or 2 he stopped. I gave him some apple juice and he started laughing and acting normal saying the few words he knows with a smile.There seems to be a dent in his head though but when I touch it he had no reaction. Is this normal?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare-magic

Dent which is just 2-4mm below the surface does not warrant any concern.
There is no cause for concern, if there is no vomiting, baby is accepting feeds well.
Do consult a pediatrician just for reassurance.
There is no cause for concern.

Take care

Best regards
