Question
A five-month-old baby, 25 days old, fell from a bed 50 centimeters high and cried loudly. Afterward, the baby’s mood fluctuated greatly, and the nap was prone to sudden crying. Concerned about possible injuries, is medical attention needed?
Answer
First, check for any unusual conditions such as skin breaks, crying out, or vomiting. If none are present, it’s generally safe; if there are, you should immediately go to the hospital for a check-up, including a CT scan or MRI of the head to rule out brain injuries. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to ensure there are no fractures or injuries to the brain.
