Lump on Forehead.?
Question:
Answers:
no, i dont think so. You are supposed to put ice or simply rub it down IMMEDIATELY so that the swelling can start goin down. If u didnt do that, then i dont think 12 hrs is that bad. Must have hurt like a bi**ch tho
Other Answers:
Aww i'm sure he's fine! But just incase, check with a doctor!
It depends on how hard did he fall and from what height?if there is no blueblck mark on his forehead ,i think u should not worry much.u may apply some warm fermentation now since it is atleast 12 hrs.old problem.but normally immediately after the fall if u see the area swelling u should first apply cold fermentation on the affected area,which resolves the problem from forming a lump.If ur child is stable and not crying on touching that wounded part ,u dont have to worry,but if it shows pain u must see a doctor.
Of course there are reasons to be concerned. While none of these are likely, they're all possible.
- Concussion
- Sub dural hematoma (bleeding)
- Fracture
- Brain injury
- Swelling
Not to cause undue panic, but for someone that young, you need to be cautious.
I have always heard that getting a lump is a good sign, when they crack their head and don't get a lump, thats when you need to worry and also a blow to the back of the head is much more serious so I've been told, but i might still mention it to my pediatrician, just for peace of mind if for no other reason.
