Question
The 18-month-old baby just fell from the bed, hitting the head first. I was sleeping on the ground, and there were about three layers of soft cushioning on the ground. Should I be worried? The baby might have been scared and cried for a while, but now it’s happily playing again. Should I be worried?
Answer
It’s not possible to determine this for sure; you need to pay attention to the baby’s mental state and observe for any symptoms like vomiting. It’s recommended to go to the local hospital for a cranial CT scan. Most children turn out to be fine, but we can’t guarantee that this child doesn’t have intracranial hemorrhage or delayed Brain concussion. It’s better to be safe and have the check-up done.
