Question
The baby is six and a half months old and fell from the bed, hitting their forehead. Since then, the baby has become very whiny and needs to be held constantly, otherwise they will cry loudly. What should be done in such a situation?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby may have sustained a head or brain injury after falling from the bed. It is recommended to undergo a computerized tomography (CT) scan to confirm whether there are any additional injuries. Since babies are too young to express discomfort through words, they can only express it through crying, so it is important to closely monitor the baby’s condition. If there is no brain injury, there is no need to worry excessively; babies usually recover gradually.
