Patient's question:
The child is nine and a half months old and fell off the bed, developing a bump on the forehead. What should I do? Should I take the child to the hospital now or can I just wait and see?Doctor's answer:
If the baby does not have vomiting or fever, the possibility of general brain injury is unlikely. Regarding the packaging you mentioned, it mainly manifests as soft tissue damage. It is recommended to use medication to relieve pain in the early stages of the fall, specifically within the first two days after the fall. After two days, you can apply heat to promote blood circulation and aid in the absorption of the swelling. Additionally, it is advisable to use some traditional Chinese medicine preparations to promote blood circulation, such as those for reducing swelling and relieving pain. Typically, this will gradually absorb and disappear.
