What are some of the danger signs in children?
Your child should be taken to the hospital emergency department immediately if she has had a fall or blow to the head and won’t stop crying; can’t be comforted; won’t eat, or has any of the signs listed above. Vomiting once or twice is more common in children and may not be the danger sign that it is in an adult. Call your pediatrician if you notice: irritability; change in eating or sleeping patterns; lack of interest at play; loss of balance; change in performance at school; fatigue.
