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. I noticed nothing was wrong with his head at first, 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 condition and spirit.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, the child still has subcutaneous injuries, which may be caused by local bruising and swelling due to trauma. There is no need to worry too much, as it is generally not a major issue. If the child does not experience symptoms of 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.
