Question
A five-and-a-half-month-old baby fell off the bed and landed on the back of the head, crying loudly at the time but without any external injuries. Sometimes, the baby cries more frequently, and the parents are worried about possible brain injury.
Answer
If the baby does not show symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, crying, or convulsions after falling and hitting the head, and is in good spirits with a normal body temperature, there should be no major concern. Additionally, you should closely monitor the baby’s temperature changes. If no other abnormal symptoms appear, there is no need to worry excessively. If symptoms persist or other abnormalities occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an EEG examination.
