Brief Answer:
Keep him up and watch him..Also, attach and image for review!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this fall your son suffered. If all you have noted are black eyes, I will suggest that you upload an image for review. For now, monitor only as you have not signaled any danger sign such as excessive cries, sleepiness, etc.

To upload an image, click on the upload icon to the right of your dashboard and follow the onscreen instructions. You may also send it directly to customer service at YYYY@YYYY and request that it should be uploaded to your query.

I hope to hear from you and promise to respond promptly. Until next, I wish you well.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
