How to Handle a Baby’s Head Turning Blue After a Fall

When a child falls and their head turns blue, it’s important to pay attention to the child’s condition. 1. If the child has a bump, gently massage the area to reduce swelling. 2. Monitor the child’s temperature and mood, looking out for signs of crying, restlessness, or listlessness. Also, check if the fontanelle is abnormally prominent and if there are symptoms like vomiting. If any unusual symptoms are detected, take the baby to the hospital immediately for examination, including a brain CT scan, to determine if there is a concussion or other injuries. Generally speaking, if the baby shows no other symptoms within 24 hours, there is usually no need to worry excessively.
