Should A Bump At The Back Of The Head Be Considered Serious?
Hello Doctor, My son fell from the 2feet high cot and hit his back of his head on a steel rod ( not a heavy one). The bump is still there and it is reduced from what it was. But it seems to be soft. He is 2 years old. No vomiting, eating fine, active, playing. Should I be scared and take him to doctor?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
this is not an emergency but since it seem like there was just minor head trauma. all you need is to follow his symptoms in next 48 hours and if you notice some of these that you ve mentioned, you should do visit hospital.
WIsh you good health. Regards
