Patient's question:
Today, my one-year-old child at home fell backward from the office desk and landed on the ground. He has a swollen bump on the back of his head and is also vomiting. After half an hour, the vomiting has lessened, but he doesn't eat much and still vomits when he does.Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered so far.
What kind of help is needed: What should be done in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use a cold towel or an ice pack to apply cold compresses to the swollen area for your baby. This will help alleviate the symptoms of swelling. At the same time, closely monitor your child's condition. If your child develops a fever, nausea, or appears lethargic, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital for a CT scan to rule out the possibility of a concussion. Delaying treatment could lead to more serious consequences. More importantly, parents must ensure they pay close attention to their child in the future.
