Did the baby fall off the bedside and get hurt?

Patient's question:

When the baby was about ten days before turning eight months old, he fell off the bed. Then he started crying loudly, so I picked him up. At first, I didn't notice anything wrong with his head, but then I saw it was red there. It has been like this for these past few days, and I don't know what the reason is. The baby is doing well in terms of his spirits and everything.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, the child still has subcutaneous injuries. This may be due to local bruising and swelling caused by trauma. There is no need to worry too much, as it is generally not a serious issue. If the child does not experience symptoms such as dizziness or nausea again, there is no need to be concerned. You can also carefully observe and monitor the child's condition at any time. If any symptoms appear, it is best to go to the hospital for a head CT scan.
