Hello parent
The CT report is showing small blood collection in the scalp which is outside the brain itself but in the layers covering the skull which will resolve over a period of time. U can apply cold pack over it for first 48hrs after injury
But we have to consider few things
1. Symptoms of the baby if any like irritability..excessive sleeping, irritability, refusal to feed
2.If CT was done immediately after injury
Next Steps
ice packs
Health Tips
if u notice any change in the behaviour or activity of the baby then consult pediatrician/ neurosurgeon/ ped surgeon immediately
