DR SHIWAJIRAO PATILGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Hello, your baby boy is 11 months old and he fell down from the bed and he has a swelling at his forehead so give him 1 ml paracetamol and apply ice cube at the bump
Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Any Fall injury specially head injury needs to be assessed properly . In any such case certain symptoms needs to be checked like loss of consciousness reccurrent vomiting or any abnormal moment or convulsions . Such case needs immediate medical intervention as there could be some internal injury . Otherwise application of ice locally to reduce the swelling and pain can be done along with some analgesic like paracetamol.
Recurrent fall injury for a child should be avoided as it can lead to somgxe chronic manifestations occasionally .
Also teeth injury should be rule out in any such case which is commonly associated and can be easily missed out most of the time .
