first aid if nauntog si baby is to apply cold compress to reduce redness and swelling.
wag patulugin si baby for atleast 1 hour to observe.
then, observe si baby for another 24-48hours.
based from experience, we rushed our baby sa pedia nung around 1yo dahil nahulog sa kama pero may puzzle mat around the bed. walang bukol. pina cranial ultrasound kaso pasarado na ang fontanelle. hindi na inadvise ni pedia for CT scan. observed na raw muna si baby for symptoms like mawalan ng malay, pagsuka, seizure, lethargic. thank God, no symptoms and ok sia.
then, nangyari na nauntog ulit sia, 3yo. walang bukol din pero nilagnat kasi sia. so we rushed sa ER and agreed for ct scan/xray. thank God, all is normal. kaya sia nilagnat ay dahil sa dengue pala.
we use arnica gel for bumps and bruises. nakakatanggal sia ng bukol (ung matagal mawala), based from experience.
for your peace of mind, you may consult pedia to assess.
