If a child has a large bump on the head, parents should pay attention to the child’s injury. If it is mild, general treatment can be chosen. If there are cases of projectile vomiting and drowsiness, then timely consultation and treatment are needed.
1. General treatment: If the child does not cry for a long time and is in good spirits, there is no vomiting. It may just be the formation of hematoma. Parents can first use ice packs to apply cold compresses. Wait until the next day, basically it will be fine. Hot compresses can be applied 48 hours after the injury.
2. Timely medical treatment: However, parents should pay attention to the child’s mental state. If there are symptoms such as projectile vomiting, drowsiness, poor mental health, headache, etc., parents need to take the child to the neurosurgery department in time to check whether it is caused by intracranial hemorrhage, and then give appropriate treatment.
Clinically when the child has the above symptoms, should promptly consult the doctor, under the guidance of a professional doctor, to clarify the cause of the disease to choose targeted treatment.
