Patient's question:
The baby is a few days older than one week. Just after finishing milk at night, she fell off the bed a few minutes later with her forehead hitting the ground. She cried for a while and then vomited once. After a few minutes, she played normally as usual. Afterwards, her spirits and overall condition are good. The doctor asked if it's necessary to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination. She fell and vomited around 6 p.m., and now it's 8:30 p.m., and she's in good spirits with no further vomiting. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
In your case, if there are no symptoms of dizziness or nausea/vomiting, it should be fine. It's best to wait and see for now, paying close attention to how the baby is doing, whether bowel movements return to normal, and whether nausea/vomiting occurs again. If the nausea/vomiting recurs repeatedly, it's necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough cranial CT scan. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby falls off the bed and hits their forehead," and I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
