Is it serious if the baby hits the parents and there is a bump?

Patient's question:

The baby accidentally hit the basketball pole with his forehead last Thursday. At that time, it immediately swelled up, and there were two bruises. Now, a week has passed, and except for the bump, everything else has healed. Do we need to get an X-ray to check it?

Doctor's answer:

If there is no vomiting, you can continue to observe the treatment and do not worry, as it may be a subcutaneous hematoma. You can apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. If vomiting and nausea occur again, further examination with CT is necessary. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, hygiene, avoid standing for long periods, overexertion, and exposure to cold wind. Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and other irritating foods. You can go to a regular hospital for further examination and treatment.
