To go back to hospital?

[immyiyfh]

My 2 year old was walking on a wall that divides our neighbours and felll around 2ft into their drive and hit her head on concrete yesterday, they glued her head back together, and said to watch for concussion, she has been awake since midnight and really irritable, she is never normally like this and sleeps pretty well, AIBU to go back to hospital? I'm worried about her, any advice?

Yes, straight in!

Have you tried giving her any pain relief/when did she last have any paracetamol (and/or ibuprofen if she can take it)? It may be as simple as her being in pain and needing medication to settle; if that doesn’t work then I would certainly
consider taking her back to be checked over again.

She has had some more paracetamol, (she can't have ibuprofen as she also has chicken pox)

Isn't it more likely she's irritated by having chicken pox?

@TheLovleyChebbyMcGee it could be because of the chicken pox, it's hard to tell, she is now finally debating sleep but it's so hard to know what to do!

She finally fell asleep at 5am and is still asleep now, we will do how we go today!

Go with your instinct. If she is still not right when she wakes up I would take her, though if she is itchy with the pox in this heat it could be that. If you do feel it necessary, emphasise the head injury in the hope of being seen more quickly. Many hours in a waiting room will not be fun today.

If the itchiness is bothering her then try a handful of Bicarbonate of Soda in the bath. Very soothing when my kids were little. But if you are concerned about the irritability after the head injury - better get her checked to be on the safe side.
