Question
A 1.5-year-old child accidentally rolled down a soft play staircase of about seven or eight steps in an indoor children’s playground, landing on their head. Although the child cried for a while, they quickly regained their spirits and continued playing. The parents are worried that the child might have a fractured neck.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the likelihood of the child having a neck fracture is extremely low. If the child had a fractured neck, they would not be able to move normally. Since the child is currently moving freely, there should be no major issue. This is the response to the question, “I’m more worried about whether there might be a fracture in his neck.”
