Infants with injuries after shaking usually have drowsiness, loss of appetite, vomiting or even convulsions and coma.
The neck muscles of infants are not well developed to support poorly, while the weight of the infant’s head is relatively heavy, the baby’s brain is not easy to fix, and violent shaking will cause shaken baby syndrome.
In mild cases of shaken baby syndrome, babies may be sleepy, lose appetite, have nausea, vomit, etc. In severe cases, cerebral hemorrhage may occur, which can cause serious damage to the brain. In case of cerebral hemorrhage, the intracranial pressure will also increase, producing symptoms such as drowsiness, convulsions, coma, and weakness in the limbs, even leading to death.
Babies with injuries after shaking are advised to visit the hospital for early and standardized treatment.
