Question
Patient Gender: Male Detailed Condition and Consultation Purpose: The baby often hits their head forcefully during breastfeeding. Four months ago, the trace element test results were normal, and no other checks have been conducted. The skull bones have not yet fully healed, and the baby cannot speak. Question: What could be the reason for this? Is it a physical illness or a normal phenomenon?
Answer
The frequent head-hitting behavior of the baby may be due to headaches. Since the baby cannot express themselves, the causes of the headaches can be diverse, with common causes including those from the common cold. It is recommended to observe any changes in the baby’s body. If it is due to a cold, antiviral medications can be used for treatment. The cause of the headache may not be limited to the head; infections such as the common cold can also lead to headaches. This could also be neuralgia. It is advised to seek medical attention promptly for anti-inflammatory, anti-infection, and pain relief treatments. If symptoms persist, further examination and treatment should be pursued, following medical advice.
