Question
When a seven-month-old baby falls on the head and hits the soft spot on the forehead, causing hair loss and minor skin abrasions, with the fontanelle still open, will there be any after-effects or complications? The forehead is slightly swollen, and it is very distressing.
Answer
If the baby does not cry for a long time after falling off the bed and does not show any abnormal reactions, it is generally not a big problem. However, as parents, we should be more careful and attentive in taking care of the baby. If you still feel uneasy, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Babies are very adaptable, and usually, even with a slight bump, there should be no major issues. I hope the baby can grow up healthily!
