The brain is one of the important organs of the central nervous system in the human body, which controls the language and behavioral abilities of the body. If damaged, it can be very serious. The baby's physical functions are not yet fully developed, and their bones are gradually growing. If they are injured, the impact on the baby's body may be lifelong. So, what should a two-and-a-half-year-old baby do when they fall on the back of their head?
What should I do with the back of my two-and-a-half-year-old baby's head after a fall
Almost every child will fall, but if they are in good spirits, they are usually fine. Don't be too nervous. Generally, children who are frightened are prone to fever in the afternoon and evening. If it is caused by shock, placing your hand behind the baby's index finger on the horizontal stripe of the palm will feel a noticeable wave sensation, which is very accurate. If there is inflammation or fever, it usually resolves by reducing the inflammation.
It's common for children to fall, so there's no need to be too nervous.
Care for the back of the baby's head
In some places, there is a custom of giving newborns sleeping heads or flat heads, which involves using dictionaries, thick books, hard pillows, etc. to change the shape of the baby's skull. Although this custom may not usually cause severe head deformities in infants (severe deformities can lead to insufficient brain capacity and harm normal intellectual development), simply flattening a child's head shape can greatly affect their appearance. Moreover, modern parents find it difficult to identify with a flat head shape and prefer a round back of the head.
What should I do with the back of my two-and-a-half-year-old baby's head after a fall? It depends on the extent of the baby's fall. If it's just a skin injury without damaging the skull, the impact is not significant. Parents just need to pay attention to taking good care of the baby in their future lives. If the baby's mental state is not good and wrestling has already injured the inner side of the brain, parents must take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
