It's great to hear your daughter has shown no signs of head trauma after her fall.

Please consult with her pediatrician or the doctor who treated her to get personalized advice on when she can safely return to sports.

Why is my 6-month-old crying and not pooping?
My six month baby is crying all night and she is not pooping please help me out
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 1st July '24
Babies cry, yet your little one's night-long weeping seems extra troubling. At six months old, no pooping plus fussiness likely signals constipation. Not enough liquids or certain foods might cause this backup. Offering extra water or tenderly rubbing that tiny tummy could provide relief. However, if distress persists, consult a pediatrician.
