Patient's question:
The baby is nine and a half months old. Last night, I was sleeping with the baby in my arms, and suddenly he leaped and fell to the ground. He started crying loudly. I comforted him for a while, and he stopped crying and fell asleep while sucking on the. But this morning, he hasn't been very happy. I wonder if his head got hurt...Doctor's answer:
Take the child to the hospital for a check-up to fully take responsibility for them and put your mind at ease.Medical advice: First, observe carefully. If there are any abnormalities, such as a lump on the head or broken skin, it indicates an external injury. If there are no symptoms and the child's demeanor is unusual, it may be internal injury, and a thorough examination at the hospital is recommended. As for bedwetting, it is likely caused by excessive fright. You can ask her if she felt sad or had a nightmare.
Our child also fell off the bed about a month ago (she was sleeping in a bunk bed). Her scalp was injured when she hit the edge of the bedside table, and she cried. Later, she moved to our main bed, and there were no other abnormalities, so we didn’t take her to the hospital.
Afterward, I watched a TV program about a child who was over ten years old and exhibited symptoms like howling like a wolf and having seizures. Through surgery, a shell-like substance was removed from the child’s brain. The ultimate cause was traced back to an incident when the child was around two years old and fell off the bed. At the time, it wasn’t noticed, and a small amount of broken skin on the brain gradually developed into fibrotic tissue. Therefore, it’s best to have the child examined at the hospital.
