My mom and my son (18 months old) had just fell on the pavement (concrete) while crossing the road. They were holding hand in hand. My mom fell down first and then my son fell down in another second.

Both of them hurt the position of cheek, and the outter area of right eye. The colour is bright red, you can easy know that they have just fell on the found. My son cried for 5 mins.

I called my son's doctor, but no  answer. When we were back to home, I gave milk to my son, he drank it and played as usual e.g. walk around, play with the toys, hold his toys to hit my head etc, it seems that nothing is wrong with him. But I am just a little bit worry. I am afraid that he might have hurt his BRAIN or the eye inside.

How can I tell he is OK or not, or should I bring him to his doctor tommorrow? My mom said she is OK, no vomiting no nausea.

Thanks
