If a child is injured and shows these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

The outpatient clinic received a patient, a five-year-old child, who was at the age of playing. He accidentally fell while riding a bicycle. At that time, he only had a little skin injury on his head. His parents took the child to the local township hospital for simple treatment. In the middle of the night, the child suddenly became irritable and vomited. When he was sent to the hospital, he was unconscious. Examination revealed that the child had intracranial hemorrhage and skull fracture. Head injuries are not uncommon.

We know that the head is an important part of the human body. The consequences of injury can be mild or severe. If it is a hematoma on the scalp, it may be relieved by cold compress. If it is a trauma that causes intracranial hemorrhage, it can be fatal in severe cases. So when a child at home is accidentally injured and shows these symptoms, he must be sent to the doctor immediately.

If a child is injured, do not assume that the louder the child cries, the more serious the injury. You cannot judge the injury only by the child's crying, the degree of pain, or the degree of bleeding. Severe injuries are often silent. Once you find that the child is coughing, emotionally unstable, irritable, dizzy, vomiting, or even comatose, regardless of whether there is external injury or not, you must send the child to the doctor immediately.
