Patient's question:
Our child is now just 6 and a half months old. Today, they accidentally fell from the edge of the sofa and landed on the tile floor. After being picked up, they cried for a while and then fell asleep. No bumps were noticed on their head.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello doctor, will the child have brain damage?
Doctor's answer:
It's normal for kids to fall down, the key is not to get a concussion. If the child is vomiting or has pale skin, they should go to the hospital immediately. If there's no swelling, there won't be any long-term effects. It should be fine. Most kids have fallen many times before. They cry loudly at first because they're scared. However, if they continue to fuss for a long time or act unusually, you should pay attention. Be careful when watching the child in the future, especially if they're more restless. Try to avoid letting them hit their heads.
