Hello, First, be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
