The harm of baby hitting the back of the head

There are many parents who do not supervise their children properly, which causes their babies to hit the back of the head. When a baby hits the back of the head, the harm is relatively serious. Therefore, as a parent, when your baby hits the back of the head, you must pay attention to it. The following contents are introduced one by one so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

The most serious consequence is intracranial hemorrhage and concussion, and the corresponding symptoms may include: projectile vomiting, coma (or drowsiness), screaming (including crying with a high pitch), convulsions, etc. If the child has these symptoms, please take the child to the hospital for treatment immediately, and the head CT, EEG, etc. can be used for consultation. If the child does not have these symptoms, and the scalp is not red, swollen (bruised) or damaged, please rest assured that most of the time it is fine.

Guidance:

If the child falls and injures other parts of the body, there should also be symptoms, such as tenderness, tenderness, dark bruises on the skin, and limited movement of a limb. If there are these symptoms, it is also recommended to take the child to an orthopedic doctor to rule out the possibility of fracture. However, generally, the child's body is relatively soft and has good buffering ability, so the chance of injury is not great. If there are no above symptoms, please rest assured.

Life care:

Generally it will not affect the child's brain and intellectual development.

But you must pay attention and if your child shows any abnormal behavior, you need to take him to the emergency room.

Generally, if the child shows no abnormal symptoms after 48-72 hours, there is no need to worry.

I believe many parents have become more aware of the dangers of a baby hitting the back of the head. If your baby hits the back of the head, parents must pay attention to it to avoid serious harm to the child's brain. When this happens, be sure to take the child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Only through treatment can the child be kept away from harm.
