Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby accidentally fell off the bed, and the back of the head swelled. After falling, the baby cried loudly, but calmed down and could laugh when picked up. The baby also ate milk. After more than an hour, the baby fell asleep. Is the problem serious? How can it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
Infants and toddlers accidentally falling off the bed is very common. There are two main aspects to consider: whether it's an external injury or an internal injury. External injuries are simple; they may have bruises or bleeding? Observe the internal injuries carefully, noting how the child shows symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. If there are no such symptoms within three days, then it's nothing serious. Afterward, pay attention to the baby's condition and promptly identify and treat any issues to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
