Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear about your nephew's fall. Did he vomit or had trouble keeping food down? Normally, after a fall it's best to keep an eye out for dizziness, vomiting, nausea or any signs of cognitive defect where the child seems disoriented.
Try not letting a child sleep for the first 4 hours after a fall. If any signs appear its best to see a specialist. I am listing some names in case you ever need them again.
