Question
Can a baby’s fall affect the brain?
Answer
When a baby falls and hits their head, if they do not lose consciousness and are in good spirits, generally speaking, it does not cause any damage to the brain. However, if symptoms such as poor mental state or vomiting occur, immediate medical attention should be sought for a CT scan. For local swelling, cold compresses can be applied initially, and hot compresses can be used after 24 hours.
