default
Posted on Mon, 8 Dec 2014
Question: Hello Doctor,
My baby is 7 months old. He was jumping in the hand and fell down in 1 feet gap with one side on the ground. His head is swollen little at one side, and his hand is paining at one end. Can I apply coconut oil to the hand, head and thigh and massage it. Or wat shall I do to recover his pain. Will it affect him in future.
Thank you in advance, Will be helpful if my question is answered soon.

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

First of all take him to paediatrician and make sure nothing is wrong with him , he may require X ray to see if some thing has happened to his bones and head .

Fractures in small babies heal very well but I am concerned about his head injury . First get him examined and make sure everything is fine .

. Hope you find this information useful.
