Question
A 2-month-old baby accidentally hit the back of her head against the edge of a table at noon on the 20th. She fell asleep without crying, and she was normal during her afternoon bath, ice skating, and feeding. However, at 8 PM when she was fed, the baby vomited all the milk, in a large quantity. For the next two to three days, she continued to vomit, once or twice a day, with each episode involving a large amount of vomiting immediately after feeding. Inquiry whether this vomiting might be due to the head injury.
Answer
Based on the described situation and clinical diagnostic symptoms, it is considered that there may be a certain relationship with the trauma. It is recommended to monitor closely for the next two days and try to feed the baby in smaller, more frequent meals. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to bring the child to the pediatric surgery clinic for a follow-up visit to assist in diagnosing any diseases. A cranial CT scan may be necessary to determine if the child has bleeding or contusions in the brain, and it cannot be ruled out that there may be increased intracranial pressure.
