Question
What to Do If Hit on the Back of the Head?
Answer
If a child sustains a head injury due to external force, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a cranial CT scan to determine if there are any abnormalities. Then, it is necessary to combine body temperature measurements to detect the need for exclusion of abnormalities. Therefore, it is recommended to check the child’s body temperature. If there is dizziness, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check for intracranial injury or Brain concussion. Head injuries in children may lead to Brain concussion, soft tissue swelling, or intracranial hematoma. Abnormalities are usually manifested as pain, redness, or poor mental health, and frequent vomiting. Observe the child’s condition. If the condition persists for two days, have the child undergo a cranial CT scan to determine the cause.
