Patient's question:
My child is one year old. Today, they fell off the bed and hit their back on the ground. They cried very hard at the time, but afterwards, they weren't feeling well and wanted to take a nap. After sleeping, they vomited twice. In the afternoon, they went to the hospital for a head CT scan, and there were no scrapes. Now, they vomited again during their nap in the evening and are not feeling well.Doctor's answer:
You must pay close attention to the child, as some brain damage may not show up immediately! Although you performed a brain CT scan on the baby right away and it came back normal, you still cannot be complacent, because after brain damage, there may still be a possibility of delayed reactions. You must carefully observe for three days, which is 72 hours! Turn the baby's head to one side to prevent the possibility of dry heaving and breathing difficulties!
