My phone accidentally fell on my 2 weeks old baby's stomach. Will there be any damage?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, your phone accidentally fell in your 2 weeks baby's stomach. And your query is about its after-effects.

A forceful blow to a baby's abdomen can increase a child's risk for internal organ damage than an adult's risk increases because their abdominal muscles are not fully developed and have less abdominal fat than an adult. Spleen is the most commonly injured organ in the baby's abdominal trauma. Symptoms of internal organ damage or bleeding are,

1. Blood in vomit.
2. Weakness or fainting.
3. Cold and clammy skin, pale or bluish coloring, rapid shallow breathing or breathing difficulties, fast heartbeat, etc.

As your baby did not cry at that moment, so I think you should wait and observe. You can do an ultrasound of your baby too. In case of any other query, ask me.

Because phone falling may cause internal bleeding or your child's internal organs like spleen, pancreas, liver, bladder, or intestines may be injured. Your baby may have no symptoms at all. I have already mentioned some signs of internal bleeding or organ damage. For that reason, you have told you to monitor your baby closely and carefully. Palpate your baby's abdomen to detect the presence of rigidity or tightness there and monitor whether your baby is crying due to pain or not. Observe your baby, whether he has blood in urine and bowel movement or not. Observe your baby, whether he has blood in vomits or not. Closely monitor is there any presence of any respiratory difficulties or shortness of breath. Carefully monitor whether he stops drinking or not. If possible, then immediately do the ultrasound, CT (computed tomography) abdomen, and blood tests for internal bleeding. Investigation reports will confirm everything whether there is the presence of any internal bleeding or internal organ damage or not. It is essential to know when that incident has happened and how many hours have passed by this time. During this period, does your baby drinks or urinate? If any other query, knock me, and I will try to reply to you further.
