Patient's question:
Today, my little nephew fell headfirst off the sofa. He started crying loudly. After comforting him for a while, his crying subsided. I noticed a stream of nasal fluid coming out, and I was terrified. I want to ask what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is head-up inversion when falling down. This situation requires ruling out traumatic brain injury. It is recommended that you don't need to worry, as it is usually not a serious issue. If it is indeed a brain injury, the child may experience severe dizziness and headache. If you are still not at ease, you can take the child for a cranial CT scan. The above advice is for the question "Did I have an accident when falling off the sofa?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
