Patient's question:
Today, my little nephew fell headfirst off the sofa. He started crying loudly. After comforting him for a while, his crying subsided. I noticed a stream of nasal fluid coming out, and I was terrified. I want to ask what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is head-up inversion when falling, and this situation requires ruling out traumatic brain injury. It is recommended that you do not need to worry, as it is usually nothing serious. If it is indeed injured, the child may experience severe dizziness and headache. If you are still not at ease, you can take the child for a cranial CT scan. The above advice is for the question "Did I have an accident when falling off the sofa?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
