Child falls on his head

Children love to play and often run and jump around, so many of them fall down easily while playing. It is easy for children to hit their brains after falling down. Children do not know how to protect their heads before falling, which is very dangerous. If they are not careful, they may get a concussion. So after a child falls, parents must check whether the child has a head injury. What should we do if the child falls on the back of the head?

1. Did the baby cry after falling?

After a baby falls, his first reaction is often to cry loudly, and the parents feel very distressed. In fact, crying after falling is a good thing. It proves that the baby is conscious and the possibility of brain injury is very small.

On the contrary, if the baby does not cry after being bumped, parents should not think that everything is fine. They should closely observe the baby's changes and go to the hospital immediately if any abnormality is found.

2. Is there any change in the baby's consciousness after falling?

After the baby fell, he began to be in a coma. He did not respond to calling his name, and he also vomited and had other abnormalities. It may be a brain injury. Parents should take the baby to the hospital immediately, no matter how late!

Some babies may be conscious and look fine right after falling, but may vomit or become unconscious several hours later. Parents should pay attention to continue observing the baby's condition.

If a child falls on the back of the head again, parents must observe the child carefully, especially if the child falls asleep immediately after the fall. This situation is very unsafe and can easily cause internal bleeding in the child. Therefore, after the child falls, you must not let the child go to sleep as soon as possible. You should coax the child more and check on the child's condition. If it is not very good, be sure to go to the hospital for examination.

If a child falls on the back of his head, the child will just cry for a while and then be fine, unless there is anything wrong. However, if the child hits the back of the head after falling, parents must comfort the child well, because hitting the back of the head is very painful and will also affect the child's health. Try your best to prevent your child from falling and hitting the back of his head.

After a child hits the back of the head, parents should try not to touch the child's head. Wait until the child stops crying, and then check the back of the head to see if there is anything abnormal or swelling. If the swelling is severe and the child is crying very hard, the child should be given a brain examination to avoid damaging the child's brain.
