A member asked:

My one year fell and hit forehead and lump appeared, his eyes crossed for a few seconds and he cried a lot . should i take him to er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessary: Immediate crying is good. Alteration of consciousness especially with vomiting is serious, and the er would be appropriate. Watch him closely and treat him as a serious injury, but er does not appear to be necessary.
