Patient's question:
Basic Information: Female, 19 monthsCondition Description: The baby fell from a height, and a hard lump formed on the front of the head at the time. I'm wondering, after the baby cried hard, the lump became bigger! What could be the problem?
Doctor's answer:
Considering it should be a localized injury, there shouldn't be anything else. Once intracranial pressure rises, it can easily cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. It is recommended that when you fall again, you should press your palm first to avoid bruises and swelling.Follow-up: The hospital performed a CT scan and found right frontal scalp soft tissue contusion and hematoma formation. If you think about it, the swelling increased after the baby cried! What's the issue?
Follow-up: Will it be hot? Is it effective? It is recommended to apply cold compress for the first 48 hours and then heat it after 48 hours.
Follow-up: The swelling became larger after the baby cried. Is it serious? It may increase again within 4 hours after recovery. This is a scalp hematoma. The scalp has a rich blood supply, making it easy to form hematomas.
