Question
My baby hit the fontanelle, and the hematoma hasn’t gone away. I’m worried about the impact on the brain.
Answer
After a baby’s fontanelle injury, if the hematoma persists and there are concerns about the potential impact on the brain, doctors recommend using iodine alcohol for disinfection. However, the hematoma has not subsided after a week. The question is how long it will take for the hematoma to resolve and whether there will be any impact on the brain. The doctor responds that the situation is due to subdural hematoma caused by trauma, which usually takes time to fully recover. They advise moderate rest and focused medication treatment, generally requiring more than a week to recover. They also state that such a condition has little impact on the brain but requires close observation.
