Question
The side of a two-year-old girl’s stomach was accidentally kicked by an adult. The baby cried and then stopped crying, playing as usual as before. Can an ultrasound be done? Is it the same type as for adults?
Answer
Accidentally kicking should not have been a forceful kick, and the watch shows no special harm. Don’t worry too much. Guidance opinion: Ultrasound is a relatively safe detailed examination, and there is no clear indication that children cannot have it, but I think it is not necessary to do so. If you still feel uneasy, you can go to the outpatient department of surgery for a follow-up consultation.
