Question
Today, a child fell from the slide at the kindergarten and hit their head. How should I observe whether the child has suffered a serious injury?
Answer
The most severe consequence is intracranial hemorrhage and Brain concussion. Possible symptoms include: projectile vomiting, coma (or drowsiness), screaming (including higher-pitched crying), convulsions, etc. If the child exhibits these symptoms, please take them to the hospital immediately for a consultation, which may include a CT scan of the head, EEG, and other tests. If the child does not have these symptoms and there is no redness, swelling, or injury to the scalp, you can rest assured. However, you must continue to observe. If the child shows any abnormal behavior, they should be taken to an emergency department. If there are no abnormal signs in the child within 48-72 hours, there is no need to worry.
