Patient's question:
The baby was just 7 months old and had just stopped having a fever when she accidentally fell sideways from a 40-centimeter high stool. After falling, she cried loudly, and we picked her up and comforted her for 1-2 minutes until she stopped crying. Her face and lips turned pale, and she seemed listless, a bit like she wanted to take a nap. After about 7 minutes, her complexion gradually returned to normal, and she even smiled when we tried to amuse her, as if everything was back to normal. We're not sure if this incident caused any harm, but should we take her to the hospital just to be safe?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that the child may have been frightened after an injury.Recommendations: During the child's growth and development, a history of trauma is unavoidable, and the self-repair ability of a child's body is relatively strong. Regarding your child, it is recommended to observe them dynamically and carefully. If the child shows symptoms such as dry vomiting, loss of appetite, or poor mental state, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention at a specialized hospital. Do not miss the opportunity for treatment.
I wonder if this explanation brings you some relief?
