Smug Monkey	yes. Now. Even a mild concussion is serious in a child. Brain injuries are easy to cause and quick to develop from edema (swelling of the brain). If you have to ask, if even just for your and your child's peace of mind, you should go... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

**@@***	My two yr old fell down a flight of steps and smacked her head on a cement basement floor. I took her to the ER ( for stitches) and to get her head checked and the Dr. told me, hitting the front of her head is much safer than the back of his/her head. If you are concerned, then you should take him or her in. If he/she is acting normal, just keep an eye on him/her. If he/she suddenly acts over tired and you cant seem to keep he/she awake or if he/she vomits, TAKE HIM/HER IN. Good Luck, kids are resilient... I'm sure he/she will bounce back just fine;) It is really sad that people have to give parents so much crap when they ( answers) too dont even know the correct answer! I'm sure you are a smart loving mother and these people who have nothing else better to do but rip on people need to learn how to make REAL friends and get REAL lives... WOW! Sorry all these people offended you:( Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Johnny B	You should of went straight away dork! You must of fell on your head as well. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bartzan41	Everyone agrees, and so do I. Just take to doctor or hospital! Now. And keep awake..you and the child!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

curious	I pray this is a stupid joke and not a serious question. CLEARLY you should have your child checked out to ensure he or she is ok. If not at the hospital then by their pediatrician... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

crankyissues	HOSPITAL!!! NOW!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

**LoLoIsLoCo**	yes it could be something serious better safe than sorry Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shygirl03	Put ice on it right away. Then if it is swelling out...he should be fine. If you do not see a knot coming up then that is when you should we worried. Also, if he was conscious the whole time then that is also another good sign. If he did not cry right away or move...that is not a good sign. Also, make sure he is alert and knows what is going on that is another good sign. If you are really worried your pediatricians office should have a nurse on call that should be able to help. Hope this helps hun :-) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
