Sometimes in parenting, accidentally bumping into the baby's head can also cause a concussion. But many novice dads and moms have no concept of concussion and do not know what specific symptoms it has. So, will a baby's concussion cause diarrhea?
If a baby bumps their head and experiences a concussion, it generally does not cause diarrhea. Concussion is mostly a reversible and transient brain damage, usually without serious functional disorders such as structural damage to brain tissue and loss of brain function. Mild concussion only causes dizziness, but more severe concussion can persist with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, and retrograde amnesia, but accompanied by diarrhea is relatively rare.
If a baby has diarrhea, digestive system diseases should be considered, but more severe concussion cannot rule out the possibility of gastrointestinal dysfunction in the early stages, such as nausea, vomiting, and compensatory gastrointestinal peristalsis, which can cause diarrhea.
However, whether it is a concussion caused by bumping into the baby or symptoms such as diarrhea during this period, the baby should be taken to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. However, concussion generally does not require special treatment and can usually recover to normal within about two weeks with good recovery. However, for younger infants, it is necessary to observe for 24-48 hours to see if the child's consciousness and vital signs are stable. Necessary antiemetic and antidiarrheal treatment should also be taken for diarrhea.
