Should I Consult A Doctor As My Daughter Fell Down From Stairs?
Hi my 3 year old daughter fell down a flight of stairs. I was holding her hand and she pulled away from me and rolled down and landed on her side. She had her winter coat and boots on and rolled down 12 steps indoors. She cried right away for about 5 minutes. I picked her up she is able to move all her limbs and there is no bleeding and I didn't feel any bumps on her head. This happened 4 hours ago. I kept her up for an hour and checked her again every hour since and she is still able to move all limbs. Is there anything else I should do? Should I bring her in to the hospital?
