6yo DS hit his head this lunchtime - fell off a bench in the kitchen (from a sitting position) on to his head on a hard slate floor. I wasn't with him at the time so didn't see what happened, but it sounds like he was just sitting right on the edge of the bench, reading, and slid off the end - not sure how he managed to land head first.
Anyway, at intervals through the afternoon, he's said his head is hurting, although otherwise seems completely normal - playing, running around, went swimming etc. etc.
Just a bit worried that it's still hurting now at bedtime. It's not the scalp, I've felt all over that and there's no tender bits, and no injury that you can see/feel. DS was particularly tired at teatime too, though that's not unusual for him esp. when he's been swimming.
Part of me wants to take him to A&E just to be sure, but DH thinks that's an over-reaction, and looking online, I think he's right.
All the websites say to check on them in the night - but check for what? What can you tell when they're asleep?
