Question
A baby who is seven months old shakes all over after falling from a walker, causing a bump on their head, and then hitting their head on a table edge, resulting in another bump. The parents are worried and ask if this shaking is related to the fall and what they should do.
Answer
For a seven-month-old baby who has sustained a bump on their head from a fall, it is advisable to go to the hospital immediately for a thorough checkup. Initially, a head CT scan should be performed to determine if there is any brain injury. If the scan shows everything is normal, there is no need to worry excessively about the baby’s occasional shaking all over. If there are abnormal findings, appropriate treatment should be based on the specific situation and should not be delayed.
