Can Head Injury To A Child Prove Very Harmful?
My 1 yr old son stumbled and hit the lower back of his head (nape area) on the edge of a coffee table. Normally, he would not cry if he falls but he cried so loud after hitting his head. I let him awake for a couple of hours and he acted just fine. He also ate a lot. Is there a cause for me to worry and what signs should I watch out for?
