Question
After a baby’s head is struck by a vehicle, they are afraid to put their feet down, day after day. What could this symptom indicate?
Answer
Children’s skeletons are not fully ossified, so even a minor impact can cause injury. In this case, it’s crucial to observe the child’s reaction, such as whether they have lost consciousness or are experiencing severe pain. If the impact is severe, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and have a pediatric orthopedic specialist conduct an examination. The appearance of pediatric orthopedic diseases can severely affect the patient’s quality of life, so in addition to timely treatment, daily care is also very important. Patients should protect the affected area, maintain a reasonable diet, and reduce the chance of recurrence.
