Suggest Treatment For Baby Falling Down On Hard Floor

My almost 7 month old son was in bed with me earlier and I turned over to talk to my husband for a minute and he fell about 2 feet onto our hard wood floors. I don t see any bruising around where he fell and we checked his pupils to make sure they were reacting to different lights and such and they seem fine. I don t see any swelling or bumps or anything. I feed him his dinner and he spit up a little, not sure if it has to do with him falling or if it is just because of what he ate. It is around bed time so he is acting pretty sleepy, but I am afraid to lay him down for bed. Should I take him to the Doctor?

Look for danger signs and syptoms like excessive drowsiness/difficult to wake, repeated vomitting, convulsions
If the child is active, playful, feeds well then no need to worry
