Patient's question:
The baby is 18 months old and bumped into something last night. I don't know where he hit, and he cried all night. Then I felt a soft spot on his head. Today he's in good spirits. Should I take him to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
A 18-month-old baby bumped their head. If there are no recurring symptoms like dizziness or vomiting, it's usually not a serious issue. Local swelling at the wound site is also normal, and it typically resolves on its own within 3 to 5 days. Monitor closely, and if severe vomiting occurs again, it's necessary to seek medical attention. This is advice for this situation. I hope it helps, and wish you good health!
