Question

The baby, who is 2 months old, fell from a 50cm bed to the floor tiles. The fall was quite loud, and the baby’s right head has a large bump. The baby fell asleep after feeding on breast milk. Is there absolutely no serious problem? I am very worried.

Answer

Your baby’s condition is considered to be a scalp soft tissue swelling, but it is not ruled out that there may be associated brain contusions and skull fractures. The patient may experience varying degrees of dizziness, headache, nausea, dry heaves, and mental depression. It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination and actively treat and prevent complications. It is suggested to pay attention to the baby’s rest, prevent overexertion and mental stress, pay attention to keeping warm, and prevent catching a cold. Drink more warm water, consume more vegetables and fruits for better bowel movements. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed CT scan of the brain to clearly determine the nature of the inflammation!
