The doctor said it was nothing, but now the baby loves to cry and the appetite has significantly increased.
What kind of assistance is needed: How to deal with the baby's frequent crying and significantly increased appetite.
Doctor's answer:
The baby immediately started crying loudly, proving that the injury wasn't too severe. The large bump looked quite alarming, but it was actually just swelling of the scalp's surface after the injury, with no damage to the brain. If the bump is large, you don't need to panic, because when the scalp swells, it has to expand outward. However, you need to pay close attention and observe the baby carefully.Recommendation: To reduce the swelling, you can place an ice pack on the bump and apply cold compress for about 20 minutes to help with the swelling.
