Will a three-month-old baby get a head injury if he falls off the bed?

Patient's question:

A three-month-old baby fell off the bed and hit their head, cried for a while, then fell asleep. Later, they played and ate, but were clearly very sleepy and cried a lot.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What help do you expect: Will he have hurt his head from the fall?

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's condition is considered to be a concussion, but it cannot be completely ruled out that there may be a recurrence of intracranial inflammation. Concussions are often caused by trauma, with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and loss of appetite, but without symptoms of intracranial bleeding recurring. It is recommended that you give your baby a head CT scan to further clarify the nature of the inflammation and avoid missing the diagnosis. During this period, pay attention to keeping your baby warm, adjusting clothing according to weather changes, and preventing colds and strenuous exercise. I hope my explanation helps you!
