What should I do if my baby falls off the couch at a few months old?
After a few months old baby falls from the sofa, do not pick it up directly. First observe whether the child has active bleeding or movement disorder, and pick it up after confirming there is no such condition. If the child shows symptoms such as lethargy, abnormal activity, continuous crying, etc., it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination in time. At the same time, observe whether there is hematoma on the child's body. If there is, use hot or cold compresses to promote swelling. Do not hold it immediately, first observe the child. Parents should not pick up the baby immediately. They should wait for 10 seconds first to observe whether there is any active bleeding on the baby. If bleeding is found, immediately apply pressure to stop the bleeding and take the baby to the hospital for timely treatment. If no bleeding wound is found on the baby, encourage the baby to move on its own and observe whether there is any movement disorder. Check if there is any limb that does not move or has reduced movement. If such a part is found, be sure to protect it to avoid aggravating the injury when hugging the baby. If there are any abnormalities, go to the hospital for examination after observation. After confirming that the baby has no active bleeding or movement disorder, you can pick it up and soothe it until the baby stops crying. While soothing, observe whether the baby's nervous system has any abnormal manifestations, such as lethargy, screaming, or abnormal movements. If there is or suspicion of it, send the baby to the hospital for examination. If the baby is conscious and behaves normally, and there are no abnormalities after 24 hours, it can be basically ruled out that there is nervous system damage. In addition, check if there is hematoma on the part of the baby's body that hit the ground. If there is, use a cold towel to apply cold compresses to reduce bleeding. If there is still blood stasis after three days, use a hot towel to apply hot compresses.
