Head injury
Hi doc I accidentally hit my baby's head on the water tap today. Tap got hit above the front fontanelle. She is 10 months old. She cried while hitting but no vomiting or passing out. There is little scar without any blood trace in the area. She was active within 20 seconds of crying. Is there anything to be worried? Should i take her to pediatrician?I am very worried since afternoon. Please help me out.
