Question
If a child is hit in the head by a phone, should we worry about sequelae? In remote areas, it’s inconvenient to seek medical treatment. How should we observe and handle the situation?
Answer
Based on the severity of the impact and the child’s reaction, if it’s only a mild tap without obvious symptoms, there’s usually no need to worry excessively. Observe the child’s behavior, such as their mood, appetite, and sleep patterns. If any abnormalities occur, such as prolonged crying, vomiting, coma, or dazed expression, seek professional medical assistance immediately. While waiting for medical treatment, ensure a safe environment to prevent further injury to the child and record any observed changes for the doctor’s information.
