If a child falls, he or she is not acting normal and has a persistent headache, Dr. Francisco Medina, Director of Pediatric Emergency Services and Chief of Pediatrics at Homestead Hospital, recommends visiting the physician.
After the fall, the expert advises getting some ice and putting pressure. But if the bump doesn’t improve and the child is not acting normal it is necessary to bring him or her to the emergency.
Dr. Medina also recommends using a helmet in some activities, because it protects children from getting an internal head injury.
