Patient's question:
A little over two weeks ago, my husband shook the child, and it was the head that was shaken. After the shaking, the child fainted for two or three seconds. A couple of days later, there was once dry vomiting. Besides that, the child was quite crying during those days, but it calmed down after being comforted. The child also slept very well and ate and drank normally. There were no other symptoms. Recently, I've read online that you shouldn't shake the child randomly, especially the head. But that time, the child's head was indeed shaken. Please consider the situation I described and see if I should take the child to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Additionally, the child has been staring blankly sometimes these past two days. These are the only symptoms.November 5th
What kind of assistance do you need: Do I still need to take the child for a check-up? The child has been shaken for almost a month.
Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are no abnormalities in the child, so everything is still fine. The shaking mentioned refers to severe tremors, which can be described as very large amplitude tremors. This can easily lead to temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, and symptoms such as dry vomiting. These transient symptoms can only be described as mild concussions, and if they do not manifest again in the future, they can be considered normal.Advice: It is recommended to treat the child well and teach them not to base discipline on scolding. Loving a child should not involve actions that harm their health, causing unnecessary injuries and psychological fear in children.
