Suggest Remedy For Bruise Of Forehead
Hello my son is a starting to walk. Today when he was walking he hit himself on his forehead with the door because he was walking towards his dad. He got an immediate bruise but had no concussion he cried for quiet a while (understandable right). I am concern if something bad will happen to my baby cause of the fall. Should i be concern? This was the first time this happen too.

Hello. I just read through your question.
the most important part of your description was the fact that he didn't lose consciousness. This is a time when we actually do want to hear the child cry. He cried appropriately. The bruise is expected. In fact, it might get worse over the next day or two. This is not a need for concern. The bruise will heal on its own with time. There is no need to be concerned that there is anything going on neurologically. He will be fine.
