A member asked:

My daughter hit her head on a wooden dowel, how can tell if everything is ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

S: Look at her. If she is acting normally, then she is fine. This type of head injury is highly unlikely to cause a problem. You should be concerned if your child has repeated episodes of vomiting, is lethargic, or seems confused. If you are unsure, it is best to call your doctor.
