Question
If a baby’s fontanelle hits the corner of a sharp closet, will it be injured? After the impact, if the baby vomits multiple times, has it been injured?
Answer
An 80-day-old baby who hits the fontanelle on a sharp corner of a closet may experience symptoms like vomiting and could be at risk for increased intracranial pressure. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a brain CT scan to check the intracranial condition. If the results are normal, you can be assured; in the meantime, ensure the baby gets adequate rest and avoid crying to prevent further increase in intracranial pressure.
