Patient's question:
A one-year-old baby didn't notice their foot slipped and fell straight down from the bed sideways. The house has wooden flooring. Then, their head swelled up, and after crying for a while, they ate and slept. As shown in the picture, is it urgent? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation described above, it is preliminarily considered that there may be a scalp hematoma. Local cold compresses can be applied. It is important to monitor whether the child is crying, refusing to eat, or experiencing symptoms such as nausea or vomiting, which may indicate increased intracranial pressure. If necessary, a detailed brain CT scan should be performed.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a one-year-old baby falls down without paying attention to stepping on an empty spot?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness every day!
