What Does Refusal Of Food By A Baby After Injury Indicate?
Get her evaluated by a pediatrician
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for choosing this platform
I won't get worried if baby is otherwise active,there is no history of vomiting,loss of conciousness or any abnormal movement (convulsion).
All the above symptoms suggest that there is injury to the brain and in this condition imaging should be done to rule out any brain injury.
I would like to know if she is complaining of pain,is there any vomoting or if she is irritable which has leads to poor eating.
Avoidance of feeds is a very nonspecific complaint and here I would suggest you to get her evaluated by a pediatrician for clinical examination to alleviate your anxiety.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Wishing for your baby's good health.
Regards
Any injury to the oral cavity or jaw bone should be ruled out

Thanks for follow up
If baby is crying particularly during feeds this can be due to painful swallowing.
Pain in oral cavity or jaw bone due to some trauma may cause this.
I suggest you to get her clinically evaluated by a pediatrician to check whether really there is any injury to oral cavity or jaw bone causing this problem.
