If a child accidentally falls on the back of his head, parents must handle it properly!

Children are usually naughty. If parents do not pay attention to correct guidance and care, they are likely to bump into things. When a child accidentally falls on the back of the head, parents should first observe how high the child fell from, including where the child fell, whether there is bleeding or skin damage. If the child's crying is an abnormal sound, parents need to take the child to the hospital for examination in time.

A child died from hitting the back of his head! What should I do after hitting my head?

Generally speaking, the most feared consequence of head trauma is intracranial hemorrhage, which can occur at varying degrees. Mild cases can cause symptoms such as headache, vomiting, and nausea; severe cases can cause massive bleeding and even lead to death.

A child died from hitting the back of his head! What should you do after hitting your head?

First of all, falling off the bed is inevitable. Once it happens, parents must not panic and should not pick up the child too forcefully to avoid causing other unnecessary injuries. If the baby starts crying immediately after falling, it is usually not a serious situation and you can pick the baby up gently. If the baby is face down, it is usually less dangerous and you can just deal with the external injuries if there are any. Another point is that for children under one year old, the fontanelle has not yet completely closed, so there will be a cushion inside the skull after a fall, and the probability of causing cerebral hemorrhage is very low. The only thing to worry about is older children falling on their heads.

If a child falls and hits his head, you should go to the hospital immediately if:

1. Bleeding trauma to the head;

2. The child did not cry after the fall, but was not fully conscious, semi-comatose and drowsy;

3. Within two days after the fall, the child developed recurrent vomiting, excessive sleepiness, poor spirits, or severe crying;

4. Within two days after the fall, bleeding or discharge from the nose or ears and uneven pupils occurred.
