Patient's question:
A 4-year-old child fell down the stairs at 7 PM last night, resulting in a large bump on their forehead. During their nap, they started bleeding from their nose at 3 AM. Today, their spirits are still okay, but are they unable to move due to the fall?Doctor's answer:
From the description of your baby's condition, it appears to be a subcutaneous hematoma on the forehead caused by a head injury. The nose may also have been scraped during the fall, which could explain the nosebleed at night. As for the child being in good spirits, not vomiting after dinner, and not having a headache, it seems the issue is not severe. We recommend closely monitoring the child's condition. You can apply cold compresses to the affected area on the forehead, switch to warm compresses after three days, and gently massage the area. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
