The baby hit the back of the head yesterday evening and I'm worried if it will become brain-damaged.

Patient's question:

My baby got hit on the back of the head two months ago last night, but he was wearing a hat. He cried for a while and then fell asleep. This morning, I gave him a bath. He's been sleeping a lot today. Is everything okay?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is inferred that the baby's head was hit two months ago, and they cried for a while at that time. Today, the baby sleeps very well, and the issue is considered not serious. It is recommended to closely monitor the baby's physical condition. If the baby is in a good mental state after sleeping well, there is no need to worry. The baby's skull is quite soft, and it is easy to cause cranial brain injury or subcutaneous hematoma upon receiving external trauma. It is necessary to check if there is any swelling on the baby's forehead and if there are symptoms of nausea or vomiting. If there are none, then there is no problem.
