What to do if your one-year-old baby falls on the back of his head

There are always some bumps and bruises in our lives, especially in the growth process of babies, there will be some falls and tumbles. What should I do if my one-year-old baby falls on the back of his head? We all know that a one-year-old baby who has just learned to walk has an unstable pace and always staggers when he walks, just like a little duck. If he walks a little faster or bumps into something, he will fall. Although we know that it is inevitable for babies to fall, sometimes falling on the back of the head always makes many adults worry, because the baby's head is big and heavy, and the structure of the head is very complicated. So what should you do if a one-year-old baby falls on the back of the head?

First things to do

1. Check for consciousness

2. Check for injuries

3. When your hands and feet cannot move and you cry in pain when touched, check whether you have a fracture or dislocation.

4. Unconsciousness, convulsions, continuous vomiting, ruptured wounds, heavy bleeding, and paralysis of hands and feet.

Emergency

1. If the baby is unconscious, continues to vomit, or has convulsions, do not move the baby. Let the baby lie still until the ambulance arrives.

2. When vomiting, let the child lie on his side with his face facing side to prevent vomitus from blocking the trachea.

3. If there is an injury or bleeding, check whether there is any swelling. If the wound is large, press it with a clean towel.

4. When a swelling appears, apply cold compress with a wet towel for a while.

Conditions to watch

1. Cry loudly, but stop immediately, with no abnormal emotions.

2. There are bumps or bruises on the face, but the complexion and mood are good.

Pay attention to the situation after observation

1. There was nothing wrong at the time, but afterwards you often become dazed, your complexion gradually becomes worse, you feel weak all over, and you vomit frequently. If you experience the above symptoms, please go to the hospital (brain surgery) immediately.

2. If you fall very hard, do not take a shower that day and avoid going out or playing outdoors. After going to bed, you should always check your complexion and other conditions.

The above are the measures that can be taken after a one-year-old baby falls on the back of the head. As long as the baby stops crying immediately and there are no abnormalities in his diet and sleep, there will be no problem. However, everyone will feel distressed when the baby falls, and sometimes it can bring very serious consequences, so in daily life, you must take good care of the baby.
