Question
A child fell from a 1.2-meter slide and cried upon landing but then returned to normal, showing no other discomfort. The question is whether it’s possible for the child to have a concussion or other underlying issues, and how to observe and handle the situation.
Answer
Generally, when a child falls from a height, the main concern is head injury, which could lead to concussions or cerebral hemorrhage. Observe for symptoms such as repeated vomiting or lack of energy. After two to three days of observation without these symptoms, you can rest assured.
