Your child seems to have an extradural bleed due to the injury. She was kept in the ICU to observe whether the size of the clot may increase due to an ongoing bleed.
Since she was discharged and allowed to be at home, I am assuming the risk of bleeding is significantly over. It may still occur though and you have to look for warning signs like vomiting, unconsciousness, drowsiness, etc.
If she is crying continuously when awake with no normal intervals when she is conscious, alert and understanding things, you need to get a repeat CT scan to look for rebleeding which may then either be managed conservatively or by surgery.
If the crying episodes are few and she has normal behaviour in between, I would suggest to wait and watch as there is not much to worry about at this stage.

Suggest Remedies For A Blood Clot In Brain Of A Baby
Hello. Your child seems to have an extradural bleed due to the injury. She was kept in the ICU to observe whether the size of the clot may increase due to an ongoing bleed. Since she was discharged and allowed to be at home, I am assuming the risk of bleeding is significantly over. It may still occur though and you have to look for warning signs like vomiting, unconsciousness, drowsiness, etc. If she is crying continuously when awake with no normal intervals when she is conscious, alert and understanding things, you need to get a repeat CT scan to look for rebleeding which may then either be managed conservatively or by surgery. If the crying episodes are few and she has normal behaviour in between, I would suggest to wait and watch as there is not much to worry about at this stage. Hope this helps. Regards, Dr Geeta
