Question

My child is 6 months old, and today they fell from the sofa to the floor, landing head first. After crying for a while, they fell asleep. No swelling on the head was observed. How should I handle this situation?

Answer

Falling is a common accident for infants, but precautions should be taken to avoid Brain concussion. If the child shows symptoms such as vomiting or pale complexion, they should be taken to the hospital immediately. If no swelling on the head is observed and the child resumes normal behavior, there should be no major issues. However, it is still necessary to closely monitor any abnormal behavior. In the future, one should be more careful in caring for the child to prevent another fall.
