Due to the fragility of infants themselves, even a slight mistake can easily lead to some external injuries, such as concussion, which is a common type of brain injury. Mild concussion generally does not have sequelae, but if a baby's concussion is not detected in time, it can lead to serious consequences. So, what are the manifestations of infantile concussion?
The typical manifestations of infant concussion are vomiting, continuous crying, and delayed response, and some may also experience drowsiness. When vomiting, there may be severe vomiting of milk or foaming at the mouth. Babies who are usually very agile and sensitive in their limbs may also experience delayed reactions and uncoordinated limb movements after a concussion.
Due to the inability of infants to express their physical discomfort through language, parental observation is necessary. After discovering that the baby's head has been hit, parents should check whether the above symptoms appear. It is best to go to the hospital immediately after the impact to check whether there is bleeding inside the head through CT. If it is only a concussion, it can be relieved by rest.
Concussion requires infants to rest in bed for a long time. It is important not to pick them up and shake or move them, as this can worsen brain damage and potentially lead to shaking syndrome. Some infants with severe concussion may fall into coma, so this situation requires hospitalization for observation and continued monitoring of brain activity.
