Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
It looks like
hematoma which is typicall after such injuries. It will pull back in next 4-5 days. You should not worry if there wasnt
loss of consciousness, more than 3 episodes of
vomiting, loss of sensation in arms and legs, vertigo or
drowsiness. If she cried after fall,this is good sign.
If there is any of these symptoms,she should visit hospital and do xrays or ct scan if necessary.
Possiblity that there is
skull fracture of intracranial incident is very low. But in next 48 hours be close to her and look for those signs I ve mentioned. Also, during her next sleep, wake her up every 2-3 hours and check her condition. If there is any new sign or change in her acting,you should visit ER.
Certain degree of headache is expected,you can give her baby brufen and continue with ice compresses. In next 3 days she should rest, avoid noisy and smoky places and intensive lights.
Wish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards
