Patient's question:
Doctor: My baby fell off the bed two days ago by accident. Because I was working outside, there was no one in the room at the time. I only heard a thud. When I heard the crying and rushed to the room, the baby was lying face up by the bed, crying loudly. We didn't know how the baby fell. At the time, we were very worried, so we picked him up and comforted him. He cried for a while, then played for a bit, then had a feeding, and then slept. He slept for about ten minutes and then slept again.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the possibility of the child experiencing another brain injury is relatively high, and caution is necessary. Since the child's growth and development are not yet complete, their bones are more flexible than those of adults. This means that even if the child falls, the likelihood of a fracture is relatively lower. However, this does not mean that fractures can be completely ruled out. If the fall is severe, the impact is intense, and the injured area is serious, it can still lead to conditions such as concussions, skull fractures, intracranial hematoma, and others.
