Question
My child is four years old, and today, while bathing, they fell and hit their head. After returning home, they took a nap. They woke up after about an hour and said they felt a bit queasy but didn’t vomit. Do I need to take them to the hospital for a CT scan?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, your child fell and upon waking up experienced nausea but did not throw up. Generally speaking, if a child can move around normally after a fall, there is usually no major issue. However, if there is nausea, it could be related to the fall. If you are concerned, you can bring your child to the hospital for a check-up to determine if there are any serious problems. Just keep a close eye on your child’s condition afterwards.
