LO fell and banged his head/ear hard. advice needed

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

LO was climbing and fell and hit is head on the side of my bed. At first I didn't see any bruises or marks or anything but now his ear is swelling up and has a bruise on it. He is acting fine and his pupils are the same size. It's only a little red behind his ear.

I'm just worried there is more damage than I can see. Does anybody have any  experience with this? I've been putting ice on it as long as he sits still. please and thank you for your advice!!

    Mine falls and hits her head all.the.time. It comes with the territory of pulling herself up on every surface in our house. I would just keep a close eye on it, especially since he is acting fine. If it's still pretty swollen in a few hours, you can always call the after hours pediatrician and see what they have to say about it. 

    Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's usually just a waiting game when it comes to bangs and bumps unless it seems like LO is in immediate distress.

    I say, if you are worried enough about LO to post online about it...call the ped, even if it's after hours.  Peace of mind is better than "I wish I would have" going through your head all day.

    I would say if he's acting ok, then he is BUT I would still call the pedi or take him to an ER to be safe.
