Question
Doctor, my baby is 23 months old. He fell hard on the back of his head the morning before yesterday, fell straight back, and he’s in good spirits, without dry heaves, loss of appetite, or fever. Today, I noticed that he likes to stick his head out when walking and shakes his head when almost falling asleep during his afternoon nap. This hasn’t happened before; it started after he fell and couldn’t move from the day before. What’s going on? Is everything alright?
Answer
Considering the above situation, if the baby is otherwise normal, it should not be related to the injury. I suggest you keep an eye on the condition and seek medical attention early if it worsens. If it doesn’t recur frequently, then there’s no need to worry. It’s important to supplement the baby with calcium and other nutrients regularly. Also, breastfeeding mothers should be cautious about avoiding spicy and irritating foods. These are my suggestions for this question, hoping they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
