Question
Hello, my friend says her baby fell off the bed and hit the back of the head. Initially, the baby seemed fine, but then started to wake up and vomit milk. She is worried that the baby might have suffered a brain injury. What are the symptoms of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage?
Answer
Hello, since infants cannot express their illness, abnormal symptoms may occur if there is a traumatic brain hemorrhage. It is advisable to continue observing the baby’s condition. If you notice that the baby exhibits excessive crying or drowsiness, vomiting, and other unusual symptoms, you should immediately take the baby to the hospital for a head CT scan. The doctor will make further diagnoses and treatment recommendations based on the examination results.
