What are the risks after the child falls on the face?

Hello doctor,

My little three month old boy fell down on his face from his cozy. Fell from his size in terms of height. We went to the hospital the next day in order to make some checks. The doctor did send us home without doing any scanner. He said it should be fine as there were no bruises, a medical examination was normal and there were no other complications such as vomiting or loss of consciousness. He only was unusually tired in the morning and that is why we made someone check him. Now. The big question is, are there any risks of difficulties in cognitive and psychomotor development in the future. I am worried about the risks of sequelae on the cognitive part. If the risk exists (I guess there is never zero risk), what is the prevalence or percentage of risk? Thanks a lot for your understanding and I thank you in advance for your true and right answer.

Can facial numbness and tingling be trigeminal neuralgia?

Hello doctor,

Three and a half months ago I started with numbness, burning and tingling on the left side of my face. I had been very sick with a chest cold. One week later I had blisters on my upper left palate, I went to the doctor and she said definitely shingles. Now l never had any pain or sensation really in my mouth or on my palate. The blisters did run liner towards the back it was not like a typical cold sore cluster. Now I do get cold sores once in a blue moon on my right side lingual gum and palate. I am still having numbness and tingling. So now my doctor thinks it may be trigeminal neuralgia and never was shingles. I am a healthy active 39-year-old woman. I am looking for a second opinion.

Can long hot shower cause a tingling sensation in the arms?

Hello doctor,

I am a 34-year-old male. I had a hot shower for a long time. When I came out of the shower, I had a hard argument with my wife. After all these incidents, I started to have a tingling sensation in my arms and fingers without numbness. Is this because of a hot shower for long hours or because of the energy wasted in the argument?

Kindly help.
