Symptoms of sleepiness in children who fell on their heads

Many families have experienced their babies falling out of bed, because now not all families will prepare a small bed with railings for their children after they are born. Most of them still sleep in the same bed with their parents. If there is nothing to block the baby, the baby will fall out of bed and hit his head, causing drowsiness. Diagnosis and treatment should be based on the symptoms.

Children falling out of bed is very dangerous

Dahe Health News has reported several cases of babies falling out of bed:

When his mother turned around to make him cold medicine, six-month-old Shuo Shuo fell off the bed, causing a ruptured cerebral blood vessel. After the doctor's full rescue efforts, he survived the most dangerous rescue period and was transferred to the general ward after 15 days of rescue in the ICU.

Xuanxuan, 3 years old, rolled off the bed while sleeping. His upper body was limp and weak, and he couldn’t even drink milk. He was rushed to Wuhan Children’s Hospital for examination overnight and was diagnosed with cervical spinal cord injury and central nervous system respiratory failure.

After falling from a 30-centimeter-high bed, 4-month-old Rongrong looked dazed and began to vomit. She was sent to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University for examination, where doctors found that she had an intracranial hematoma...

Many parents have experienced their baby falling out of bed. Some parents think that the bones of infants and young children are very soft, and even if they fall off the bed, it will not cause much harm. In fact, this idea is wrong.

If a baby falls out of bed, it may suffer mild skin abrasions, soft tissue injuries, etc. If the hands, feet, joints or head touch the ground first, it may cause fractures, injuries to the facial features, etc., and in severe cases it may even cause head and brain injuries.

The pediatrician said, "Children are particularly prone to head injuries because their heads are relatively large and account for a large proportion of their body weight. Once they fall, their heads will definitely bear the brunt of the impact. In addition, unlike other parts of the body, the head is not covered by clothes, but is exposed to hard objects, so once injured, the injury is more serious. In addition, children's blood coagulation function is relatively poor, especially for children around 6 months old. At first, you may not see any problems, and the injuries will only show up after a long time. At that time, the condition has worsened. Some parents tend to judge the injuries based on the height of the fall, which is actually very inappropriate."
