Suggest Remedy For Bumps In Head
Six year old nephew was pillow fighting and hit his head on the TV really hard. there was an instant bump and it was HUGE. He's crying and screaming and it really hurts him. Should we take him to the hospital? He's had a barn fall on his head before and was fine, but the bump this time is way bigger and he says this hurts more.

Hello,
You should go to a paediatrician immediately. It might not be a deep brain injury but just a simple hematoma. But get it examined by your doctor. He might require a CT SCAN of head.
Thanks.
