head injury

[ditavonteesed]

could a plastic storage box corner hitting a child in the head fractire their skull?
Not being lax and asking here rather than doing anything, just trying to decide wether or not to go to a&e. has a lump, lunmo feels a little bit soft but not sure nhs direct says soft lump go to a&e, hard lump normal.

I cant risk it if it could be fractired skull but finding it hard to imagine that a plastic box could fracture a skull.

how old is child? how hard is the plastic? was it filled (heavy) - if you are not sure go straightaway

box was empty, dd says it really hurts, she is 6, dont wwrry i will be going in 5 mins if I havent worked out if it is bad or not.

I think, regardless of it seems unlikely or not, if you are even a little bit unsure, just go and get her checked, much better to be there for a couple of hours and come home assured she is ok and you both can go to sleep without worrying than worried for the next 24 hours, especially at bedtime.

a&e have certainy sped up their services, she is fine, just a bit sore, had some calpol at the hospital and got a sticker.

phew, glad she's ok

oh and the lovely nurses said always bring her if unsure as they would rather every child be ok than miss one that isnt.

i am glad she is ok and glad the nurse reassured you that you did the right thing.
