Doctor's answer:
Hello, in the above situation, the baby will be fine. Generally, when this kind of situation occurs and vomiting is present, it's important to prevent head trauma such as brain bleeding or concussions. Therefore, based on the baby's current condition, there should be no issues, and there's no need to worry too much.It is recommended to continue monitoring the baby's condition and seek medical attention promptly if any problems arise. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of fluids and avoid getting overheated.
If the baby has fallen, it's usually not a serious issue. However, if you're still concerned, you can take the baby to the hospital for a brain CT scan. If there are any abnormalities in the brain, the child may show symptoms such as crying, drowsiness, projectile vomiting, or even coma in severe cases. Pay close attention and seek medical attention immediately if any changes occur.
