Question
The child has a concave deformity on the right occipital brain that hasn’t healed. Sometimes, they experience dizziness. What should I do?
Answer
Generally, children’s skulls are soft and malleable, so small concavities on the head usually heal on their own. However, if the concavity exceeds 1 centimeter, it may not heal on its own. In this case, it is recommended that you take your child for a head CT scan to determine the depth and extent of the concavity. If treatment is needed, seek help from pediatric orthopedic or related specialist doctors. In addition to timely treatment, daily care of the child is also important, including adequate rest and nutrition to promote wound healing and reduce the risk of recurrence.
