Question
The baby girl is three months old. During breastfeeding, the parent accidentally hit her forehead. Initially, there were no signs of injury, but later on, the area became red and swollen. Should we seek emergency medical attention?
Answer
According to your description, the baby’s forehead has become red and swollen, but there is no mention of swelling. Please closely monitor the baby’s condition. If the redness is accompanied by swelling and gradually subsides, and the baby does not have persistent crying, normal sleep, no change in milk intake, and no vomiting, then there should be no major concern. However, if these symptoms appear, it is advisable to take the baby to the doctor promptly. If the baby is in good condition and drinking milk normally, there is no need to worry excessively. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
