What should I do if a baby's small abdomen is accidentally kicked by an adult on one side?

Patient's question:

A two-year-old girl was accidentally kicked on one side of her abdomen by an adult. The child cried at the time but stopped crying afterward and played normally as usual. Can an ultrasound be performed? Is it the same type of ultrasound as for adults?

Doctor's answer:

Accidentally kicking should not have much force, and from the appearance, it doesn't seem to cause any particular harm. Don't worry too much.
Medical advice: Ultrasound is a relatively safe examination, and there is no explicit statement that the child cannot undergo it. However, I think it should not be necessary. If you still feel uneasy, you can consult the surgeon again.
The above advice is for the question "A two-year-old girl's lower abdomen was accidentally kicked by an adult." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
