Question

After moderate pediatric brain injury treatment, the baby often experiences dry heaving in the morning. Is this a possible symptom of intracranial infection?

Answer

Hello, after a baby has undergone moderate brain injury treatment, if they experience dry heaving in the morning, although it cannot be ruled out as a symptom of intracranial infection, it could also be caused by other factors. It is recommended that you take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis. If confirmed as an intracranial infection, immediate antibiotic treatment should be initiated and the condition closely monitored. Intracranial infections in children can cause severe damage, so early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
