My toddler fell off the bed onto hardwood floors about a week and 1/2 ago. He seemed fine the next day and so I thought since. We ve noticed that all of a sudden for about 4 days he has been very fussy/cranky cries at the drop of a hat, he s been extremely clumsy, stopped eating, or eats very little, keeps holding his head. I noticed tonight that he had a bump about the size of a dime above his ear and he cries if I touch it. I tried looking at his pupils but he screams when I get the light up to his eyes and closes his lids. Do you think he has a concussion, and should I take him in?
Hi... I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room as early as possible and get him evaluated. Head injury can turn nasty even after 7 days of actual injury. Regards -
