Question
My baby is one year old. They fell from a stroller at 2 pm yesterday afternoon. They landed flat on their head. They cried right after that. They stopped crying after being comforted for five minutes. Are they okay? I’m not sure if they were injured. Is everything alright? How can I tell if my baby is hurt?
Answer
Generally, brain injuries may present with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Your baby currently shows no abnormalities, so there’s no major concern. I suggest you closely monitor your baby’s mental state. If your baby experiences headaches, nausea, or vomiting again, it’s advisable to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to avoid missing any potential illness. Wishing the little one a speedy recovery and a healthy body and beautiful life.
