Question
A mother brought her child to the hospital for a CT scan and discovered a fracture on the right side of the child’s occipital bone, accompanied by a subcutaneous hematoma. The doctor advised home rest to allow the injury to heal naturally. The child cried after falling last night and then fell asleep, but this morning showed signs of vomiting and was in a poor state of spirit, so they rushed to the hospital for a detailed examination. There is no detailed record of the past treatment and its effects.
Answer
The subcutaneous hematoma in the child’s head can be absorbed and dissipate naturally, which usually takes 1 to 4 months, a common occurrence that does not require excessive concern. No treatment is currently needed; simply avoid touching and friction in the hematoma area, and do not draw blood from that area. Wishing the child a speedy recovery. This is the recommendation for the question “How should an infant cephalic fracture be treated?” I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
