One of the scariest things about head injuries is that sometimes, what seems like it should be a minor head injury -- like a fall from a short distance -- can sometimes cause more serious symptoms than a fall from a second story window.
That makes getting as many details about the head injury and your child's symptoms right after the head injury occurs very important.
It can be especially important to know if your child:

• had any loss of consciousness immediately after the head injury
• had a change in behavior immediately after the head injury, such as becoming irritable, lethargic, not remembering the injury or other things (amnesia), or having poor balance, etc.
• begins vomiting after the head injury, especially if he develops persistent vomiting, which is usually defined as vomiting more than three or four times
• has a seizure immediately after the injury or later that day
• can open his eyes fully after the head injury
• develops other symptoms after the head injury, such as a severe or worsening headache, stiff neck, or photophobia (sensitivity to light), etc.

In general, a loss of consciousness, seizure, persistent vomiting, or any change in behavior after a head injury would require immediate medical attention.
You should also usually seek medical attention if an infant under six months of age has a fall, even if they don't have a loss of consciousness or other symptoms.
