depends on how hard the child was hurt. Most likely he/she will be fine. Kids are pretty resilient.

You don't have to rush the child to the hospital rite away. Just make sure you keep the child concious for a few hours and they are acting right. If they keep falling asleep wake them up, but if they just pass out then yeah take them to the hospital. Kids do things like this everyday, especially my 4 1/2 yr old that seems to bump his big head everywhere, and he stays fine.

Well it depends on the force of the impact! if he fell on his forhead from a second story window as opposed to just tripping and falling.
I'd say worry about the first one.

It depends: how far did he fall and what on to? He will probably just develop a bump and maybe a bruise, but he will probably be fine. I wouldn't take him to a doc, just keep an eye on him. If your that worried call the docs office and ask the nurse.

depends on what height he fell from and what he landed on. Did he have any unconciousness or vomiting? Does he seem sleepy? Keep an eye on him and watch for those things. Unless he fell from a height above 2 feet or landed on something like concrete, then hes probably fine. Check his pupils...are they both the same size? Do they both react to light and dark? (get bigger in dark and then get smaller in light) if so, he ok. If you have any doubts, call your doc. # year old skulls are pretty resilient believe it or not. Hes probably ok.

It depends on how much damage has been done to the brain. But the effect can come after a long time. You should consult the neurosurgeon in your area and get MRI done as soon as possible.

well, i'm assuming you're not three (althought such a question posted on yahoo answers seems like something a 3-year-old would do)
So i'm guessing that you dropped your kid. In which case, if he seems fine, then he's fine--if he doesn't seem fine, take him to a doctor.

Just keep an eye on him. If he gets real sleepy call a doc.

it depends on how far the child fell and on what surface he or she fell on. usually its ok, unless there is any swelling or bleeding. then you should probably go to the docotor.
