Question
What should I do if my 11-month-old baby accidentally falls and hits their head while playing?
Answer
Pay attention to observe if the baby is vomiting or showing any unusual mental state. If the baby fell and hit their head on a hard surface like concrete, you need to be particularly cautious. Today, keep an eye on the baby’s mental state and vomiting situation. If the baby seems the same as usual, then there is no problem. However, you need to be extra careful when holding the baby to prevent another fall in the future. If the baby is not drowsy, has a good mental state, and normal eating habits, there is no major concern that would affect the baby’s intelligence. If the baby exhibits symptoms such as drowsiness, poor mental state, vomiting, or seizures, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for a head CT scan.
