Question
A two-month-old girl had her fontanelle injured yesterday, with no other symptoms. Are there any effects? Does it affect intelligence?
Answer
If the child showed no special reaction and just cried lightly before calming down, it is recommended to monitor closely. If the child becomes restless again or shows a recurrence of seizures, it is advisable to go to the emergency department for a CT scan to rule out conditions such as intracranial hemorrhage. However, based on your description, I believe that close observation is sufficient and the likelihood of affecting the child’s intelligence is low.
