Patient's question:
Holding the baby while standing up, the baby's head was accidentally hit by the faucet. The position was near the back of the whirlpool next to the top. It didn't break the skin or leave any red marks. Will this cause any interference with the baby's body (the baby is six and a half months old)?Doctor's answer:
After a head injury, if severe headaches, crying, projectile vomiting, and optic disc edema (blurred vision) occur again, it may indicate symptoms of increased intracranial pressure.Advice: If the baby shows no abnormal symptoms after the injury, just as they did before the injury, without loss of appetite or projectile vomiting, it is likely that the child has not sustained a head injury but only a blow to the scalp. This situation proves that the child is fine and there is no need to worry. It will absolutely not cause any disturbance to the baby.
