Get him to the hospital!! I'd call 911 if your not close to hospital. He could be showing s/s of shock, and the bad thing is kids compensate so well for shock thats it often overlooked early. Then they crash and it's too late. Scared or not he needs to be checked for internal bleeding!
Reply:Get your son to the ER IMMEDIATELY. Sounds like, with chills, he is having some internal bleeding and may be going into shock. GO NOW and get off this damn computer.

Reply:O.K. mom it is time for some parenting here...take the kid to ER now. if he is having chills that is and indication that there could be internal injuries. I would not wait until he pukes his guts out or goes unconscious. I know no one wants to go to the hospital but that is why parents are older and understand the problems if we do not act on these things right away.
Reply:Only thing I can tell you is... I f he doesn't like the er, then that doesn't matter. if he's hurt he needs to go to a doctor. oh well he'll just have to get over it. your health is more important than a phobia.
