Is It Safe To Eat Food After Head Injury?
My 2 1/2 year old fell against the bannister on the stairs, and has a cut along his scalp and two bumps, bruising on his forehead. Pupils are OK. He will need a stitch or two I think - can he eat or drink anything now or should I wait to see how he does?

Hi,
Please wait. We have to check for internal bleeding by doing a CAT scan. If everything is clear, she can get stitches, pain killers and can eat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
