Can pressing a 4-year-old's head cause internal injury?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

According to your description, there has not been a history of direct head trauma with a hard object to your son's head. If it is correct, then it is good, but it does not guarantee that there is no injury. Because rapid or forceful shaking induces a tear force that might cause some injury to the brain tissue or neck structures. Although such injuries are usually very small in size, they are regarded as insults, by the way. At present, you need to observe your son for at least eight hours for any sign of significant behavioral change, confusion, dizziness, abnormal balance, headache, neck pain, neck stiffness, nausea or vomiting, and blurred vision. Moreover, it is necessary to request him to rest and not conduct action plays, rapid running, or overdoing things for the same period. If you feel that you can not check the mentioned evaluation by yourself, seek medical attention from a physician to examine your son. If you see any of the suspicious signs, seek urgent medical attention at once.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com,

I can understand your concern.

Although in medicine, we cannot say anything with 100 % accuracy, as your son has not shown any warning signs or symptoms, the odds of injury are very low and negligible.

In response to your question about aneurysm, rest assured that such minor trauma does not cause aneurysm formation.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
