Patient's question:
For over three months, the baby fell off the bed and was crawling on the ground crying, hitting the forehead. There might be two red spots on the cheeks, with a few small blood spots. Should I go to the hospital to check? Is it serious? After crying for a while, they were picked up and stopped crying. Will the brain be injured?Doctor's answer:
When a baby falls off the bed and gets injured, it will surely lead to crying. If the forehead is injured but there are no open wounds, it is recommended to apply cold compress promptly. This can reduce pain and prevent blistering and swelling. After the injury, due to the pain, the baby will definitely cry. If the baby shows symptoms of loss of appetite or is difficult to wake up, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination. If the baby has symptoms of loss of appetite after being injured, it is still better to go to the hospital for a check-up. If the skin on the baby's cheeks is broken, use iodine to sterilize it to prevent infection. Give the baby more warm water to drink.
