Patient's question:
The child was hit in the head by a stone thrown by someone else's child, causing significant bleeding, large bruises, and several shallow wounds. Later, it was found that the stone was deliberately aimed at my child's head. The stone was two palm-sized machine-made bricks, weighing about three to two pounds. Should a thorough examination be conducted, and are there any potential long-term effects?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation described, if there are no adverse symptoms, there is no need to worry. If you are still concerned, you can go to the hospital for a brain CT scan to rule out any abnormalities. Sterilize the wound to prevent infection, do not let it get wet, and pay close attention. If the baby has a poor appetite, headache, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting, please return for follow-up immediately. Pay attention to a light diet for the child, get plenty of rest, and do not let the child touch the head again.
