Hetal replied. anon, it happens,,many a times,these kids fall and they dont respond to it,,
whenever they do so and if the injury is related to head or neck,,check for these signs :
1.ne nausea or didnt eat meal regularly in next 24-30hours.
2.ne temperrature,...
3.ne sign of not responding or dull or more sleepng hours without much activity level,,
4. unexplaind sweating, chills or shivers after bath, even with normal water/lukewarm bath,,,followed by fever above normal...
5.just touch the area where she got hurt,,if it pains and the pain continues for more than 48hours,,thn consult your dr immediately,,and at your next check up/regular checkup,,make sure to talk about it to your dr so that your dr knows about it.
6. check for ne swelling afterr 24hours, or ne other signs of rashes or cracks,,also check for ne skin colour changge like brownish,pinkish, reddsh,greenish,or black,,,all signs of internal bleeding or blood vessel injured,,,all report to your dr at once...
7. ne sign or complain,,or while playing alone,child keeps touchng that part of body again and again,,somtimes gets frustrated with pain and shows aggressive behaviour ! and such,,,,watch for all these signs and it should help you take proper steps on time...
rest all,,most of the times when kids are badly injured,,thr boddy part becomes numb and thy dont know whats going on with them,,which makes thr responses just ?...during nirja dressngs she was allowng me to get the bandages done, because she would hardly feel the pain,,it was so severe that it was almost numb ! it was only when i used to remove the old bandage,,she used to runaway or cry,,or feel pains,,
now considerng the toddler life,,keep an eye on all thr monkey business and accidents,,keep a check for 24hourrs on thr behaviour, sleepng hours,ne vomitng or nausea or sudden loss of apetite without ne reason,,all these will tell you whether your child needs an immmediate attention...
nirja does that many a times,,sometime back she njoyed bangng herr head to wall,,in US we have common walls made of wood,,and in that,,if there are responsive neghbours,,thats how the interaction goes,,she would bang her toy or her head or sometimes her hands and the girl next door used to respond from therre,,they both are of same age ! now none of my walls have space,,i kept furniture all cornerd to walls,,so she stopped it ! but it wass a real hard time for me to make her forget that,..
neways,,take care,good luck,,
