What should you do if a child bumps their back of the head?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. What should I do if a child hits their back of the head?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, there is concern about whether it may cause an intracranial hematoma. It is recommended to have a brain CT scan at the hospital. If there is an intracranial hematoma and increased intracranial pressure, symptoms such as projectile vomiting and convulsions may occur. It is necessary to observe whether these symptoms appear in the coming days. If they do, the child should be urgently transported to the hospital for surgical treatment.
Hello, viral infections in children are usually caused by exposure to the source of infection. Treatment can be managed using traditional Chinese medicine based on syndrome differentiation or antiviral medications. It is important to ensure adequate rest and avoid stimulating foods.
