Patient's question:
When the baby was three and a half months old, the fontanelle on the top of the head was injured, resulting in a hematoma. Now, almost five months later, it hasn't subsided yet. Initially, it was disinfected with sterilizing solution for two or three days, but it didn't go away. Last week, I visited a doctor who recommended using iodine for disinfection, but after a week, it still hasn't subsided. How long will it take for the swelling to go down? Will it affect the brain?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the patient's condition is still a subdural hematoma caused by trauma, and the situation requires a gradual and thorough recovery. It is recommended to rest moderately during daily life and focus on medication treatment. Generally, it takes more than a week to fully recover. This is the advice for the question "Baby's anterior fontanelle hit when the baby was three months old." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
