Question
The baby was playing on the TV cabinet and accidentally fell to the floor. The head hit the floor but there was no swelling or bruising. After crying, the baby fell asleep after being comforted, but not at the usual sleep time. Should I be worried? After touching the baby’s nose, the baby opened its eyes briefly in response and then fell back asleep.
Answer
For a baby who has suffered a head injury, the most concerning possibility is the potential for brain bleeding or concussion. It is recommended to closely monitor the baby for any signs of vomiting or poor mental state. If these symptoms appear, immediate hospital treatment should be sought. It is important to continue to pay attention to the baby’s condition and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities are detected, and to cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
