Yesterday, I held the child up high and then bumped my head on the wall. I cried. Are you okay?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, I held the child up high, but accidentally bumped into the wall. They cried for a few moments, but were soothed and stopped crying. Should be okay, right?

Doctor's answer:

This usually causes subcutaneous bleeding and soft tissue injury. It is generally not a serious issue, so do not be too anxious. Monitor the child's mental state for symptoms of nausea or vomiting. If any occur, seek medical attention promptly for a head CT scan to rule out special conditions such as intracranial bleeding! In this case, it is recommended to observe the baby's condition. If there are no abnormal changes, it is generally not a serious issue. If abnormalities are observed, seek medical attention at a local hospital as soon as possible.
