First of all, may I know when exactly the baby fell? After the fall, did the child lose consciousness or faint at any point? Following that, have you noticed any symptoms such as vomiting, bleeding, or anything unusual? These details are important to assess the situation properly. If possible, I would suggest a more detailed consultation so that we can discuss the child’s symptoms in depth.
