Patient's question:
The baby fell from a stool over 60 centimeters tall while in a standing position onto the cement ground, hitting the back of the head. At the time, a thick small blanket was covering the back of her head. After the fall, she curled up, whimpered softly, as if unable to cry, felt weak all over, and refused to eat even when coaxed. Her sucking was weak, as if she were about to faint. After a few minutes, holding her and looking at a picture book, she came to her senses. She could even laugh when tickled. After a short while, she was coaxed to sleep and slept for over two hours. When she woke up, she played normally and was in good spirits. Two days have passed, and there has been no vomiting, crying, or drowsiness. Worried about the radiation from a CT scan, we didn’t go to the hospital. Will the baby be okay? She is 11 months old.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, there are no obvious symptoms of intracranial injury in the child. At the time of the fall, there was no recurrence of significant loss of consciousness, and currently, there is no recurrence of nausea, vomiting, irritability, or anorexia, which suggests no intracranial injury. No need to worry, no need to worry. Please carefully monitor the child. If the child's appetite and mental state remain good, no special intervention is needed. If symptoms such as vomiting, irritability, loss of consciousness, or anorexia reappear, seek medical attention promptly. I hope my explanation helps you.
