my son hit his head and has a bump he seems fine should I take him to the hospital
Gender: MaleAge: 6
How long has it been since he hit his head?
He hit his head about 3.5 hours ago, we than went to dinner he seems fine but was very tired when we got home and went to sleep and is now sleeping. I have just check on him. he actually bang he head hard playing at the park
He seems to be fine and you may not take him to a doctor but you have to be careful and alert during the next 24 hours atleast. If you see any twitching limbs, colour changes, disturbances in breathing then you should immediately take him to a doctor.

so I should NOT wake him up and take him to the doctor? Should I wake him thoughout the night and check on him?
No, you do not have to wake him up. Just keep an eye on him and look for the signs I have described you. He seems to be fine. I hope he did not have any episode of unconsciousness at the time of injury or afterwards. Please, go through the article I mentioned above. Your child seems to be fine but you just have to be extracareful to be on the safe side. Thanks. Please, click the ACCEPT BUTTON so that I can get my dues.
