My 2 year old had brain surgery on his right side 17 days ago, today he fell & hit the back of his head Should I have gone 2 A&E? He was ok

I am so worried so since he had his accident! He was fine after bumping the back of his head today and had had no other symptoms but how do I know he hasn't started to bleed internally again?!?!

It's difficult to comment without knowing the extent of the 'bump'. ( slight/heavy bump?......hard/soft surface ? I think if there's any doubt about the severity you should take him to A&E first thing tomorrow. I know I would.

Hi thanks he is fine this morning but we're still going x yeah sorry it's so hard for other's to judge! I have been so worried since my sons accident! He had a decompressed fracture with what the doctors called a sizable bleed on the brain. We went to our Local A&E dept and it took 13 hours to decide how bad his injuries were and had to be blue lighted to another hospital x I am just hypersensitive to anything now and we came so close to losing him that I have been a nervous wreck since! I just found this site last night maybe it will be a good place to sound off x

I doubt there'll be a problem but It just isn't worth the risk. x

Oh, and yes, it is a good place to sound off. Hope your boy's OK. x

Its always better to be safe than sorry I would always say if you are worried then check it out for peace of mind

I can relate to being a nervous wreck, it gets better with time! but yes do take him back to A&E. I hope he is well, let us know how you get on.

Ok so my little fella is fine! The Dr thinks I am more affected by the trauma than he is at the moment and it's only natural to be as anxious as I am right now x I know that's true because I won't let my self sleep at night and keep having the most awful flash backs from his accident. He said they will pass with time which l believe it's not been long x we were so close to losing him he had a very Big bleed on his brain the drs couldn't tell me if he was going to make it or not!

So thanks for replying peeps

Wow, that sounds tough for you, I'm sorry

I think if I were you, I'd do the exact same thing every time!
