babies falling on their head and hit hard to ground or floor

Recently my nephew one year old kid lost balance while walking and fell back hitting head to the floor real hard he started crying real loud it showed he was badly heart and it scared crap out of me since he is just a year old kid and i heard that babies head are smooth, Delicate and fragile just like a egg yolk i was very much worried about him, does it hurts his brain? should i take him to the doctor many question this made me to search on the net hoping to find some answer on precautions or necessary steps.

Though some times i feel it is normal since i have seen many kids falling and bumping their heads like this while learning how to walk but when it comes to our dear and beloved ones we will naturally be very much concerned, below are the few tips i learn't on net

What to do when Child falls or bumps head:
1. First of all don't panic, be calm and try to calm your kid by diverting his mind.
2. If got a bump on the head hold a ice pack or some thing which is cold like milk pack,veggie pack etc on the bump, apply cold pack atleast for 20mins with a 5 minute break
3.If baby is bleeding apply gentle pressure on the cut until blood stops to bleed. and perform few other layman aiding to your baby

When to worry ?
1. Loss of Consciousness: If child blackout for more than few seconds this mean bump is strong enough to cause hematoma be careful and take him to hospital.

2. EyeSigns: Eyes can tell how well is your child if there is any below symptoms after certain period after the fall then he needs medical attention
a. crossed or rolling eyes
b. One pupil larger than the other
c. Older children may report double vision smaller kids may walk weirdly as if drunk indicates blurred or double vision

3. Vomiting: Child may vomit once or twice because of gagging, couching and crying but if it is more than thrice better to consult a physician

4. Loss of balance while walking: Though this is normal after the fall due to dizziness, if your child looks as if he lost balance even after long period of fall then he needs medical attention

5. Prolonged crying or severe headache: if child crys more than normal time after the fall then there is something wrong consult your doctor immediately
