Being pregnant for ten months, it can be imagined that the baby lived for ten months in such a small space. So everything they see in this world is full of curiosity. So it will be more active, but at this time, mothers may not pay attention and the baby may fall. So what's going on when the baby falls and doesn't have a backpack on the back of their head?
What's going on when the baby falls and doesn't pack the back of their head
If a baby can cry immediately after falling, the likelihood of brain injury is generally lower. Babies are most afraid of falling to the back of their head. If they fall face down, the risk is generally low, and only external trauma treatment is needed.
1. Falling off the bed may be an inevitable thing. Once it happens, don't panic too much. Do not hastily lift the baby off the ground, and do not move too aggressively to avoid unnecessary injuries.
2. For most families nowadays, babies often fall off the bed, with a maximum height of 50-60 centimeters, and they generally do not suffer too serious damage. 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 can cry immediately after falling, the likelihood of brain injury is generally lower. Babies are most afraid of falling to the back of their head. If they fall face down, the risk is generally low, and only external trauma treatment is needed.
Which babies have more serious falls
1. Hemorrhagic trauma to the head;
2. The baby did not cry after falling and showed signs of lack of consciousness, semi coma, and drowsiness;
3. Within two days after falling, recurrent vomiting, excessive sleep, poor mental state, or severe crying occurred again;
4. Within two days after the fall, there was bleeding, flowing water, and uneven pupils in the nose or ears. Generally, if a person falls to the head and causes severe concussion or intracranial hemorrhage, 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.
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.
7. Even if you fall to the head, don't always suspect it's a concussion. The characteristic of concussion is the loss of consciousness and perception for a certain period of time. If the baby's consciousness remains normal, there will be no problem. If a baby vomits, it may be caused by shock or temporary brain shock. Generally, it will be resolved after vomiting two or three times, which is different from a concussion. Even if it is a mild concussion, there will be no sequelae.
What's going on when a baby falls and doesn't have a backpack on the back of their head? In fact, if there are no problems and the baby continues to move curiously, then everything is fine. But if the baby falls and bleeds from the head, then they need to go to the hospital for a brain examination. However, mothers should also pay more attention to their babies, be active and play, and be careful not to fall their heads.
