Question

The child fell backwards from an office desk, with a swelling bump on the back of the head. Vomiting subsided after some time, but the appetite is poor. No medical treatment history.

Answer

It is recommended to apply a cold towel or ice pack to the swollen area, observe for symptoms such as fever, dry heaves, and lack of energy in the child. If these symptoms appear, go to the hospital for a CT scan immediately to rule out the possibility of a concussion. Parents should take care to prevent similar accidents from happening again.
