Visible Bump After A Head Injury On The Back Of Head
hi my sisters son is one and he fell on a hard floor yeserday. he has a visible bump on his head and whatever he was eating he was vomiting it today since afternoon he is eating and hasn t vomited since butt still has a fever .no signs of bleeding .what shall we do
if he has vomiting, loss of consciousness or seizures, you have to make sure that there is no internal injury. signs of bleeding or lump is not much significant. get a ct and neurosurgeon opinion if necessary after consulting a doctor
Vomitting is not a good sign.
Please see a consultant asap.. I suggest that you walk into the emergency department of your nearest hospital.
The Child will need a CT scan and observation in hospital.
as scalp has enormous blood supply,hematoma is fairly common following a history of fall from height.Though vomiting has been ceased, the baby still need a XRAY SKULL to exclude any fracture. If the baby vomits,get unconscios,having convulsions,loss of memory,irritability,altered behaviour and a fracture on xray, do a urgent CT scan.The baby may need a neurosurgical intervention.
