Collision, Head Injury, Red Fluid Filled Bump On Temple, Hard And Swollen. Treatment?

My 3yr old was playing with his two year old cousin whom is bigger than him and they were playing, running from each each side of the room at each other giving high fives they ended up colliding and hit each other in the head this was over a month ago and my son has a red fluid filled bump right above his temple on his right side of his head....idk what to think or do because the bump didn t show up that night a couple days after but if you press it, it does not hurt just feels squishy with a little hard piece in the middle of the bump

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query,
This bump is due to a contusion formed that time because of accumulation of blood in the scalp layers forming a hematoma.
Gradually the blood inside get disintigrated and get absorbed into the blood leaving no swelling.
But some time it get organized forming fluid or get calcified with a hard bump feeling.
Consult your Pediatrician to know any intervention is required.
Hope I have answered your query.
