Question
The baby is over one week old and fell off the bed a few minutes after finishing breastfeeding last night, hitting the forehead. The baby cried for a while and threw up once, but then played as usual a few minutes later. The baby’s spirits and condition were good overall. Does the doctor think the baby needs to go to the hospital for a detailed X-ray examination? The fall and vomiting occurred around 6 PM, and now it’s after 8 PM, the baby is still in good spirits and hasn’t thrown up again. Thank you.
Answer
Considering your situation, if there are no symptoms of dizziness or severe nausea, there should be no problem. It’s best to observe the baby closely for any changes in spirits or bowel movements, and for any recurrence of nausea or vomiting. If these symptoms occur repeatedly, a detailed CT scan of the brain should be conducted at the hospital.
