Patient's question:
The baby is a few days older than one week. Just after finishing milk at night, he fell off the bed a few minutes later with his forehead hitting the ground. He cried for a while and then vomited once. A few minutes later, he played normally as usual. After that, his spirits and overall condition are good. The doctor suggested if it's necessary to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination. Around 6 p.m., he fell and vomited, and now it's 8:30 p.m., and he's in a good mood with no further vomiting. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
In your case, if there are no symptoms of dizziness or nausea/vomiting, it should be fine. It's best to wait and see for now, paying close attention to how the baby is doing, whether bowel movements return to normal, and if nausea/vomiting recurs. If the nausea/vomiting occurs repeatedly, it's necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough cranial CT scan.This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby falls off the bed and hits their forehead?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
