Is it serious if the baby falls on the back of their head?

Patient's question:

A 4-month-old baby fell off the bed on the 22nd. There were no external injuries. From 9:30 to 10:00 in the morning, they were asleep for about half an hour. In the afternoon, they slept from 1:00 to 4:00, and then squatted and slept from 5:00 to 6:30. Is this considered excessive sleepiness? Should they be taken to the hospital for a check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, this is usually not a problem. First, wait and see. If there is no nausea, vomiting, heartache, and you are unaware of the symptoms, it is not a major issue. The main thing is to observe whether the sleep is peaceful. If there is a significant difference, please go to the hospital for a check-up. If the difference is minor, then there is no impact. It is recommended to closely monitor the child's condition. If the child seems unwell, it is essential to go to the hospital for an examination.
