What Causes A Bump In Head After A Head Injury?
My son was walking backward and tripped over a laundry basket. He hit the back of his head on the coffee table. He has a bump about the size of a quarter in diameter. He immediately cried. He said it still hurts but does not complain if a headache. No vomiting at this point . What do you recommend?

You can monitor for any for any symptoms indicating problems. Symptoms include- headache, vomiting, excess drowsiness, seizures, confusion, memory loss.
It is quite possible and likely that he will be fine.
If you notice any alarming symptoms then he needs to see his doctor.
I hope this helps
