Question
Is it related if the baby’s head bump hasn’t healed after 5 days? Could it be a brain injury?
Answer
Head injuries should be monitored for the prevention of intracranial hemorrhage. A head bump is usually caused by soft tissue injury. If the baby is eating and behaving normally with no vomiting, the risk of intracranial hemorrhage is relatively low. A purulent bump on the head can be treated with blood circulation and coagulation medicine, such as Yunnan Baiyao, applied topically in the affected area. Pay more attention to it in the future.
