Patient's question:
Around noon, a two-and-a-half-year-old child fell from a height of about 1.4 meters to the ground. The back hit first, followed by the head. The child kept wanting to take a nap and was a bit crying. At 9:30 PM, a CT scan was taken, which showed superficial abrasions on the scalp and minor (a few drops) abrasions in the brain. The doctor recommended immediate admission to the ICU. Is it really necessary to stay in the ICU? Will the child definitely be crying in the ICU? It might lead to a larger amount of bleeding.Doctor's answer:
From the child's careful examination of the results, the issue of skin peeling on the surface is not significant. The main problem remains intracranial bleeding. It is best to follow the doctor's advice for treatment to better prevent the possibility of further skin peeling. If the baby cries, the doctor will have family members stay with them. It is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment to avoid delaying the condition. The above suggestions are for the question "Around noon, around 12:00, a two-and-a-half-year-old child." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
