Question
When my child was five and a half months old, the other night, he fell out of bed. He cried loudly at the time, but it was settled after some comforting. The next day, he seemed a bit lazy, but there were no external injuries. Should I be concerned about potential harm to the child?
Answer
If the child can cry immediately after falling, the likelihood of brain injury is generally low. It is necessary to observe whether the child shows repeated vomiting, increased sleep, moodiness, or intense crying within two days after the fall. If any of these symptoms appear, you should take the child to the hospital for a check-up.
