Question
Will my baby’s big toe get hurt? Today, I gave him a pair of shoes to learn the strength of his toe bones by walking on the ground. Then, my mom used a mop to clean the floor, making it slippery. The baby fell several times, finally landing on the ground with a loud thud, and his head hit something hard. The area where both feet were wearing shoes was pressed against his genitals. What should I do now? Will it affect his fertility when he grows up?
Answer
Falling is a common occurrence for children, and standing falls are usually not severe. Based on your description, there are two issues to be aware of: one is whether the head is injured, and the other is whether the reproductive organs are injured. If the child stops crying after falling, does not vomit, and shows no unusual expression, then the head should be fine. Please carefully observe if there is any swelling in the reproductive organs; if not, then they should also not be injured.
