Watch closely: If there is any abnormality in his behavior go to the er. Look for any vomiting, poor appetite, increased fussiness, a bruise on the head, increased sleepiness, less responsiveness. Also it there was a significant mechanism of injury--like the edge of the tub was sharp, or it was from a height-you should go to the er.
