Patient's question:
Seven months ago, two days ago, the baby fell from the left side of the doorframe to the right while sitting on a walker. At the time, the baby cried, and later a bump formed on his head. We applied Honghua oil to it. The next day, while playing, he hit his head on the table again, and another bump formed. Today, we noticed that the baby occasionally trembles all over, without vomiting. We are very concerned. Hello, doctors, could you please advise what this could be? Is it due to the head fall and bump? What kind of assistance do we need: Please guide us, doctors.Doctor's answer:
If the baby gets a bump on the head after falling and then hits the head again on the table, resulting in another bump, it is essential to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination. First, a head CT scan should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. If there are no issues, you can rest assured.Now, the baby is experiencing occasional shivers all over the body. For such a young baby, it is possible to have these shivers again after being startled.
I strongly recommend that you take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a head CT scan. If there are no problems, the occasional shivers are not a concern. However, if there are issues, the situation will need to be assessed to determine the specific problem and then treated accordingly. Please do not delay this any further.
