Brief Answer:
Could be concerning if activity is reduced
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It is likely that the child is alright but infection needs to be ruled out as a possible cause. If the child is otherwise active and playful you need not worry. But if the child seems lethargic, it would be a good idea to visit the doctor.
Let me know if I could help further.
