Question 8

what should i do if my baby falls down and bumps his head so hard it bleeds?

Accepted Answer

May need stitches.: A baby's head is large compared to its body, so falls commonly result in minor head trauma. Most falls don't require intervention, but if your child is bleeding, the wound should be examined to see if stitches are required. Besides bleeding, a head injury that causes loss of consciousness, vomiting, unequal pupils, loss of balance, or unusual behavior, also requires a visit to the pediatrician.

Accepted Answer

Bumps: Make an appointment to see your medical doctor. This is not something that can be accurately diagnosed without a clinical examination.

Question 10

i have one bump down there it doesn't hurt and the bump is hard. is it herpes?

Accepted Answer

Probably not herpes: Herpes doesn&#x27;t cause firm bumps, and never causes any kind of bump that persists more than a day or two without changing quickly into blister/pimples and then open sores. The only STDs that cause firm painless bumps are genital warts and molluscum contagiosum. If you continue in doubt about the cause of this, see a doctor soon for proper diagnosis. Good luck!
