My 5month old fell off the bed, cried for a short while and calmed down. I observed him the next 2 days and he now has a bruise on his head I m almost certain from the fall. He is already teething so he has an occasional temp brought down by Tylenol. Should I take him in to be seen?
Hello. I just read through your question. A bruise on the head is expected after a fall. As long as there was no loss of consciousness at the time of the injury, there is no need for concern. The bruise will take several days, up to a couple of weeks, to subside. If he is otherwise well, there is no need to take him to the doctor.
