Patient's question:
The baby is six and a half months old. Since half a month ago when she fell from the bed to the ground and hit her forehead, she has become very fussy and clingy. She cries loudly whenever she is not accompanied by someone. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the symptoms, falling off the bed and hitting your head may result in damage to the skull and brain. It is recommended to undergo further CT examination to determine if there is any intracranial injury. Since the child is too young to communicate their discomfort verbally, they can only express it through crying. Therefore, it is necessary to closely monitor the child's symptoms and perform CT examination if necessary. If the possibility of cranial brain injury is ruled out, there is no need to be too worried, as it will generally gradually return to normal.
