Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your daughter got a slight fracture of occipital bone .The doctor stitched the wound. Keep her under observation for nearly 24hours. I think it is sufficient treatment ,but you should keep a watch over her if she develop fever or become unconscious then you should consult doctor. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
