Help
Yesterday my 5 month old daughter feel out of her hairchair while my husband was taking her out. It is about 2.5 feet from the ground and we have hard tile on our floor.
She cried for ten minutes and I calmed her down. She ate her dinner after she was calm and tool a 20 min nap ( her normal nap)
I called the triage nurse and explained everything and she said to keep an eye out for her pupils, not eating, vomiting and tiredness.
At night my daughter played and ate 7 oz before bed. I stirred her every two hours to make sure she was breathing.
She woke up at 440 am and at her bottle at 5. She has been playing smiling and eating normal.
There is also no Black and blue and only a slight bump.
I am so afraid of a brain bleed.
Nurse said she should be fine if she show no symptoms.
I am a worried wreck and feel like the world worst parent.
Should I take my daughter to the ER now or is she okay?
Thanks

It's been a week now- do you think she is okay and no serious underlying issues are present?
I took my daughter the ped yesterday. Felt her skull and soft spot and said it felt good- that her pupils were good and ears were clear.
It has been 4 days now- how long would it take to show internal bleeding

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If it has been three days since the fall, probably your daughter is fine. However, since she is just 5 months old, her skull bones are soft and may be able to take in a bleed and not show symptoms for days.
I do not want to scare you but it is best to show her to her pediatrician. Since she is otherwise healthy and chirpy, there is no need to rush to the ER unless she is vomiting, crying unnecessarily, head banging, not listening to sounds or responding. Take care!

Since there is no bump of bruise could she have internal bleeding?
how long would those symptoms show?
its been 3 days since she has hit her head
