Patient's question:
Over the course of half a month, he fell eight times due to inadequate care, all on concrete surfaces. He hit his back of the head six times directly. After each fall, there were no other abnormalities, except for one instance where he vomited milk the next day, but he recovered afterward. His mental state remains normal. I'm concerned that frequent falls to his back of the head might lead to any adverse symptoms in the future. Is it necessary to do a CT scan?Doctor's answer:
The baby's skull development is incomplete, and multiple impacts may affect future brain development. It is recommended to provide better care for the baby and avoid leaving them unattended. If you are concerned, you can undergo a CT scan for a clearer diagnosis. Machine examinations can only detect whether there is damage but cannot determine if there are intellectual issues. Regarding radiation, there is no need to worry too much, as it will not affect the body if you are not exposed to a radiation environment for a long time.
