Patient's question:
Last night, my almost seven-month-old baby fell off a bed that was 50 centimeters high. A bump formed on the back of his head, and then he started crying. After crying, he was given some milk and fell asleep. We took him to the hospital, and he woke up! After waking up, he didn't cry and just looked around. He even smiled when he saw his grandmother. The doctor said that since he doesn't take naps, they couldn't do a CT scan, so we went back! He slept many times during the afternoon nap, and slept relatively well in the second half of the night. Today, he showed no other symptoms and ate and played normally. The only thing is that the places where he might have fallen still hurt. He doesn't cry when touched with his hand, but he cries when touched a bit harder! I'm worried about the doctor—will there be any long-term effects, or could his head have been injured?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, if the baby is feeding well, without vomiting or loss of appetite, it is likely that the baby doesn't have any major issues. It is recommended to observe the baby carefully for a bit. If the symptoms persist for less than 2 days and the baby shows no other discomfort, it should be fine.This advice is for the question "Last night, a nearly seven-month-old baby fell from a bed that was 50 centimeters high." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
