How long does it take for a baby to have symptoms after falling out of bed? Will it affect brain development? Be careful…

Question 1: The baby is more than four months old and fell off the bed today. There was a gap between the bed and the sofa, and she fell headfirst into the gap. The bed was 40cm high. How many months does it take for the head to be fully developed? Will head development be affected? Dr. He Jiexin answered: It usually takes 12 to 18 months for the baby\’s anterior fontanelle to close, and 2 to 4 months for the posterior fontanel to close. When a baby falls, external swelling and bulging can be seen, but the condition of the brain needs to be confirmed by CT or MRI. If the baby falls, the main reason is fear of intracranial problems, so you need to pay more attention to the baby\’s mental state. If you have any abnormalities such as low spirits, drowsiness, vomiting, etc., you need to go to the hospital for examination in time. If the baby is mentally okay, there is no need to deal with it for the time being. Do not rub the swollen area, as the local swelling will subside over time. You can observe it for two or three days first, tease the baby more, and observe the mental state, diet, etc. If everything is okay, don\’t worry too much. If you feel that your child\’s energy is not as good as before, it is best to go to the hospital. Question 2: My baby has been getting bruises below his knees recently. Although there are not many, some areas are relatively large and they don’t hurt when touched. Do I need to go to the hospital for a checkup? Dr. Luo Zhen answered: It is necessary to do a blood test on the baby to see if the platelets are normal. In addition, four items of coagulation should be checked to see if there is any abnormality in the coagulation function. Question 3: My baby is 3 years old. The scars left by chickenpox were picked out by the baby. Some of the scars are relatively large and I think they will leave scars. What can I apply now that will not leave scars easily? If there are scars, what should be done? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: No matter what you apply, the effect will not be good. Try not to irritate or scratch it, and it will gradually become less obvious. Scar removal drugs generally have no obvious effect. If you need significant scar removal, it falls under the category of cosmetic surgery.
