How to deal with a baby hitting the back of the head

The back of the baby's head is the most vulnerable part. As it has not yet fully developed, if this part is severely hit, it will cause serious damage to the baby's brain. Therefore, many parents want to fully understand how to deal with it when their babies hit the back of the head. The specific answers are given below so that you can fully understand it.

2) The baby did not cry after falling, but was not conscious enough, semi-comatose and drowsy;

3) Within two days after the fall, the child has repeated vomiting, excessive sleepiness, poor spirits, or severe crying;

Generally, if a fall causes a severe concussion or intracranial hemorrhage, it will occur quickly, at the latest within 24 hours, so go to the hospital as soon as possible if you have symptoms.
