Put cold compress on the bump and it's good that it is a bump, if they go in according to my kids doctor that's bad. I think it is every 3 hours you should wake him. If he starts vomiting or acting out of the sorts call the ER( hospital) most have a nurse line and tell them. Save your back and his head and let him walk, been there they get heavy and cause your back to weaken. Then you'll have permanent damage and you can't pick them up when they fall

First,get a cold towel soaked with water,and then put it in warm(not hot)water.Put it on the bump on his head.Ice will work to but towels are more comfy.Massage your knee a little,you guys should rest.If your knee is bleeding,put some aloe vera on it or some ointment.Band-aids come in handy too!
Love,Deanna Hope You Feel Better!

tabby,
Sidewalks don't have much 'give,' ya know?
How high did he fall from? Which part of the head?
Better safe than sorry, I always say...I would fess up and have your cuz looked at.

Humans are pretty tough see how he is tomorrow if there are no signs of a problem if there is off to the Doctor now.
