Patient's question:
My baby is 5 months old. Last night, her head was bitten hard by her older brother, and it swelled. I'm wondering if it will affect her head development or anything else. No, I just want to know if it will affect her health.Doctor's answer:
The child is five months old. The child's fontanelle was bitten by the older brother, and there is swelling. It's appropriate to apply cold compresses. Cold compresses should be applied after 24 hours. This is mainly to scare the child. If there are no discomforts, it's not a big deal. The child's fontanelle has not yet closed, so it's essential to pay close attention to care and prevent it from being bumped. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be guided. Please actively cooperate with the treatment according to the doctor's advice. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
