Patient's question:
The little baby fell off the bed, possibly landing on the back of his head. After being picked up and comforted, he fell asleep for a while, but then woke up again. Around two hours later, he vomited milk, not a lot, and I don't know if it was because he put his finger in his mouth that caused it. He vomited again at night. What are the symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage in infants?Doctor's answer:
If there is significant bleeding that compresses the brain tissue, it may cause a headache. In small babies, this manifests as constant irritability and distress, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, poor mental state, and loss of appetite. If the bleeding is minimal, some babies may not show any symptoms. Falls are perhaps unavoidable. Once they occur, do not panic excessively. Do not hastily pick up the baby from the ground with jerky movements, as this may lead to other unnecessary injuries.
