Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but don't worry. If her activity, breathing pattern and pulse in normal, then it's unlikely to be serious injury. If she develops any breathing problems, tachycardia, bleeds, vomiting episodes, consciousness disturbances then visit an ER for complete examination and evaluation.

Hopefully it will be of help.

Take care
