Is it okay if a 3-month-old baby hits the back of their head very hard?

Patient's question:

After falling, I cried very hard. While crying, I ended up taking a nap. I didn't see any bags. The past treatment and its effects: I haven't been treated before. What kind of assistance matters: I just don't know if there's anything.

Doctor's answer:

After falling, she cried very hard, and then fell asleep while crying. It seems there's no problem with the bag since it wasn't seen. Advice: If you're still not sure, you can have a head CT scan to check for any cuts or injuries. It's not true that the absence of a swelling on the head means there's no internal injury—the swelling is just a superficial sign of emotional distress. Additionally, once the child wakes up, carefully observe for any abnormalities. If everything seems fine, and there are no changes in behavior or mental state compared to usual, then there's nothing to worry about.
