Question

My baby received intravenous treatment at one month old and developed a hematoma on the head after the injection. There has been an increase in sleep for two days. Now, the child seems less agile than before. Does this mean that the drugs have interfered with the brain? The treatment history and results included not using anti-inflammatory drugs. The help expected is to understand if anti-inflammatory drugs could possibly enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier.

Answer

A one-year-old child develops a hematoma on the head after intravenous injection, which may be due to a minor rolling needle phenomenon. Immediate cold compresses can be applied and again 24 hours later to solve the problem. Advice: The child’s increased sleep may be related to a cold and will not affect intelligence. Parents should not worry too much, as slight fever should be avoided by all means. The above is a response to the question “Do Hematoma Formations After Newborn Head Injections Affect Intelligence?” I hope this helps you, and I wish you good health!
