Patient's question:
I accidentally fell down a while ago. My back of the head hit the chair hard. It was very painful at the time, but I didn't pay much attention, thinking it would get better after a while. However, after some time, it didn't improve. I'm quite worried, worried that something might be wrong with my body.Doctor's answer:
If a child sustains a head injury due to external force, it is necessary to visit the hospital for a cranial CT scan to determine if there are any abnormalities. Then, it is necessary to check the temperature to see if any abnormalities need to be ruled out. Therefore, it is recommended to check the child's temperature. If there is dizziness, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check for intracranial injury or concussion. A child's head injury may lead to a concussion, soft tissue edema, or intracranial hematoma. Abnormalities are typically pain, redness, or poor mental health, often accompanied by vomiting. Observe the child's condition. If two days have passed, please have a head CT scan for the child to determine the cause.
