Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question. This is very common in this age group.
As long as there was no loss of consciousness at the time of the injury, there is nothing to worry about. The next thing you need to watch for is vomiting within the first 24 hours after the injury. If this happens, contact your pediatrician. If this does not happen, there is no concern.
