Question
The newborn accidentally fell off the sofa, cried loudly upon landing, and then vomited all the milk fed earlier. However, no vomiting or unconsciousness occurred thereafter, and it was only that one instance. Has there been any previous experience in treating this situation and its effectiveness? What kind of assistance is needed when encountering this situation for the first time? I would like to ask the doctor to help determine whether a CT scan or other further examination is necessary.
Answer
Based on the baby’s current condition, generally speaking, if vomiting occurs again, attention should be paid to the possibility of neurological damage, such as brain hemorrhage or Brain concussion. However, since the baby has only experienced vomiting once without any other abnormalities, it seems there should be no major issues. It is recommended that parents closely monitor the baby’s condition and seek medical attention immediately if any problems arise. At the same time, pay attention to the baby’s hydration. I hope these suggestions can help you.
