Patient's question:
A 1.5-year-old baby has a big bump on the back of their head with a small blood mark. Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination? Will there be any lingering aftereffects? Urgent help needed. On April 2, 2012, at night while playing on the sofa, the baby accidentally fell and hit the floor tiles, resulting in a big bump with a blood mark. The baby has not shown any other abnormalities. Currently, no thorough examination has been conducted at the hospital. The desired help: SMS notification as soon as possible.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your baby's condition involves a scalp hematoma caused by trauma, which is typically a collection of subcutaneous blood resulting from the rupture of scalp capillaries. Symptoms include a scalp lump, pain, and redness/swelling. If accompanied by a concussion or intracranial bleeding, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite may also occur. Your baby shows no abnormalities, so there is no need to worry excessively. Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
