What Symptoms Should I Look For In My Child After A Fall From Bed?

My son feel off the bed yesterday(and it's kinda high). I believe that he hit his head when he landed n I know he bit his tongue.he seems to be fine but I would like some advice on what I should look for if something is really wrong and I would need to rush him to the hospital.

Hi, thanks for your question.

You should look for a worsening headache, visual disturbance and repeated vomiting. If your child becomes drowsy or confused then this would also be a reason to seek medical attention.

I hope this answers you questions

Best wishes
