Question
A 5-month-old baby fell from a height of one meter and sustained a right temporal bone concave fracture with a depth of about 0.7 centimeters. Will it heal on its own?
Answer
Infants’ bones are softer, and if the CT scan does not show brain damage and there are no symptoms such as vomiting or loss of appetite, it can be observed for swelling. Generally, fractures have the opportunity to heal on their own during the growth process. However, if any abnormalities are found, immediate hospital treatment should be sought. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery.
