Parents are most afraid of their children's bumps and bruises, but no matter how careful you are, there are times when you cannot take care of them, especially in the childhood stage. A lively and active baby is always troublesome. Even in bed, it's not honest. What if the baby falls to the back of the head in bed? What symptoms should be treated promptly when a baby bumps their head?
What should I do if my baby falls to the back of their head in bed
1. When a collision occurs, do not panic too much. Don't rush to pick up the baby, and don't move too aggressively to avoid unnecessary injuries.
2. Generally, bumps are not likely to cause severe damage to babies. Especially for children under one year old, the risk of cerebral hemorrhage due to incomplete closure of the anterior cingulate cortex and intracranial buffering is very low.
3. If a baby cries immediately after being bumped, the likelihood of brain injury is generally lower. For those who fall to the back of the head, it is important to observe more. Generally, if a severe concussion or intracranial hemorrhage occurs after falling to the head, it will occur quickly, at the latest within 24 hours. Therefore, if there are symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
What symptoms should be treated promptly when a baby falls to the head
1. Hemorrhagic trauma to the head; Urgent hemostasis treatment is required first.
2. The baby did not cry after falling, but showed a lack of consciousness, semi coma, and drowsiness.
3. Within two days after the fall, there were repeated vomiting, excessive sleep, poor mental state, or severe crying.
4. Within two days after the fall, there was bleeding, flowing water, and uneven pupils in the nose or ears.
5. After the baby falls to the head and there is no bleeding, if there is a small swelling, cold compress should be applied immediately. If the swelling is large or red, you can first apply some sesame oil urgently or stick it on with moist potato slices, which has the auxiliary effect of relieving pain and removing stasis.
6. After the baby falls for a period of time, try to talk to the baby, tease him, transfer his excitement, and do not hold him to sleep. If you fall asleep quickly after crying after falling, you should also wake them up within an hour. If you cry loudly after waking up, there shouldn't be any problem.
Taking care of a baby can sometimes be a physically demanding task, and even a slight lack of attention can lead to problems. After all, for babies who have just turned over, learned to crawl, and learned to walk. Sports is my favorite activity, which is why there is always no idle time. If there is really a collision, parents should not blindly worry and must handle it calmly.
