Patient's question:
Main symptom: A 19-month-15-day-old baby is playing on the bed. When the baby crawls forward, the edge of a wooden toy placed in front of the head bumps the baby's fontanelle a few times. The area where the fontanelle is bumped becomes red, and there are two indented marks from the wooden toy's edge. Hello doctor, will this interfere with the baby's intellectual and brain development? I am very anxious. Looking forward to your reply. Onset time: Examination results:Doctor's answer:
If a 19-month-old child is developing normally, the fontanelle should have closed. After it has closed, minor collisions with toys will not cause any significant problems. However, if the child is underdeveloped and the fontanelle has not yet closed, it is important to closely monitor their behavior after being bumped. Observe how they continue to cry, how they show signs of poor appetite, dizziness, how lethargic they become, and whether they experience dry vomiting or nausea. If any of these symptoms reappear, it is essential to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. If there are no abnormalities, there is nothing to worry about. It will absolutely not interfere with the child's intellectual and brain development.
