A one-year-old child has hit their head, can they have a CT scan?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After injury, check if the child has vomiting symptoms. If there are no other symptoms, a CT scan is not necessary. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, supplement with multiple vitamins to enhance immunity, and recover quickly.
