Patient's question:
At 20 months and 26 days, the baby was stepping up on the stairs and accidentally fell, hitting the baby's anterior fontanelle against the edge of the marble step. The marble edge is very hard and forms a 90-degree straight angle. The area where the baby was hit on the anterior fontanelle is red, with two upward concave marks from the stair edges.Could this interfere with the baby's intellectual and brain development? I'm very worried. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!
What kind of assistance is needed: Could this interfere with the baby's intellectual and brain development? I'm very worried. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
That the baby currently, except for not showing other abnormal manifestations, has there been any symptoms of headache or dry vomiting? Advice: According to your description, if the child currently does not show any obvious abnormal manifestations and there is no local edema, then it should be fine. Because the child's skull is currently in a relatively soft nature, when subjected to external forceful impact, it will have a protective response, providing a protective measure for the brain.
