My baby didn't have a head hematoma at first, but now at 17 days, I've noticed it.

Patient's question:

The baby has been crying every time he's put on the bed these last couple of days. He prefers being held, is it because it's a habit he's developed, or is it because the hematoma hasn't gone down yet and he's uncomfortable?

Doctor's answer:

Clinical phenomena caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronous discharge of brain neurons. It is characterized by sudden and transient symptoms, and the manifestations vary widely depending on the location of the abnormally discharging neurons in the brain. It is recommended to first undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination, and phenytoin sodium treatment may be necessary if needed.
