Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Child To Want To Snuggle And Sleep After Falling Down?
Backwards fall onto a hardwood floor My two year old fell back wards off a 2 foot stool on to hardwood floor. He cried right away but settle and started to play again. I woke him up every 2 hours last night to make sure he was ok. all went well. This am if he is not playing he want to snuggle and fall asleep. Should I be concerned?
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern. First be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury - 1. Vomiting continuously 2. Seizures 3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose 4. Unconsciousness 5. Altered sensorium or behaviour. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury.
For pain you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500mg) every 4-6th hourly.
But as he is preferring to sleep, I suggest you get him checked at the nearest emergency room, first thing in the morning.
