For babies who are just learning to walk, it is common to bump their heads out of a bag. Sometimes when a baby bumps, at first it's just a small redness and swelling, and then it slowly turns into a swollen bun, making parents feel heartbroken. So, what if the baby hits a bag on their head? Let's take a look together with the editor.
What should I do if my baby hits a bag on the head
When a baby falls, if there is a hematoma on the head, cold compress can be used within 48 hours, and hot compress can be used after 48 hours. Pay attention to whether the baby has any abnormal symptoms. It is recommended to take the baby to a regular hospital for an interview and examination with a surgeon. Based on the specific situation, appropriate measures can be taken. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, and pay attention to rest and keeping warm.
Is it dangerous for the baby to hit a bag on the head
The baby's head was impacted by external force, resulting in the formation of a local scalp hematoma. In this situation, there is usually not much problem. You can apply a cold towel locally to alleviate subcutaneous bleeding symptoms. After 24 hours, local hot compress is needed to promote the absorption and dissipation of congestion. Pay attention to observation. If the baby experiences symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for treatment. Considering that scalp hematoma is the most likely cause, cold compress can be applied to the local area within 24 hours, and hot compress can be applied after 24 hours. In addition, it is recommended to go to the hospital or neurosurgery department to see if there are any obvious problems in the skull. Also, pay attention to observing whether the baby has mental illness, nausea and vomiting, etc. If there are, the possibility of intracranial problems may be higher, which is somewhat dangerous.
At home, it is inevitable for babies to bump into each other. Parents can take some relief measures to alleviate the pain for their babies. When a baby collides, the first method used is ice compress. Ice compress can reduce the heat sensation in the swollen area, alleviate pain, and slow down blood circulation to prevent the swollen area on the baby's head from becoming larger again.
