Suggest treatment for head injury in a 3 week old baby
Patient: I was feeding my 3 week old baby and I dropped the bottle on her head. She hasn t been crying and I even gave her a bath. I don t see that the soft spot has sunken in but she is my first and I am worried that I hurt her. The bottle is a six ounce bottle and was completely empty at the time. Should I take her to the hospital? Is this a serious issue. Please help! Doctor: Hi,Thank you for asking question on health care magic.Empty plastic bottle usually does not cause serious injury.You need not worry unnecessarily.She will come round without any problem.Hope this answer will serve your purposePlease feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake careDr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCHAssociate professor of pediatrics
