Patient's question:
The child is two weeks and five months old. About half an hour ago, they fell from the window sill to the balcony, with a height of about one meter plus a little. When I picked them up, I didn’t notice any obvious redness or swelling, but they cried for about ten minutes. After that, they kept being held, showing signs of being heartbroken and occasionally pouting. They drank about 100 ml of milk, but didn’t finish the rest and haven’t been drinking it anymore. Right now, they’ve fallen asleep. Should they see a doctor in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The child fell from a height slightly above one meter. As long as there is no vomiting, and the distress is not severe, it should be fine. I suggest you don't get too anxious. The child is now asleep. If they wake up and show vomiting or severe distress again, you must go to the hospital for follow-up immediately. This advice is for the question "The child is two weeks and five months old, and fell from the windowsill to the balcony about half an hour ago." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
