Patient's question:
A three-month-old girl was accidentally hit on her forehead by her parent while feeding. She cried once but continued feeding without crying. However, her forehead turned red shortly after. Is it urgent?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. According to your description, the baby's forehead is red, but there may be swelling. You didn't mention it, so please pay close attention and carefully observe the baby's condition. If the local redness is accompanied by swelling and gradually subsides, and if the baby cries excessively, has poor sleep, increased feeding, and experiences vomiting, it's important to visit the hospital for follow-up promptly. If none of these conditions are present, and the baby is in good health with normal feeding, there should be absolutely no problem. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
