A doctor has provided 1 answer

Monitor over time: Always perform a quick full body survey to see if any lumps, bumps or abrasions are evident. If your son is arousable and interactive and alert after his sleep, you should be fine. Loss of consciousness, persisistent irritable behavior, crying or persisitent vomiting are signs suggestive of more serious phenomena-necessitating an evaluation with your doctor or emergency dept.
