What Causes Dents Above Eye And Temple Of A Baby?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

No need to worry as of now. Just apply ice packs there, and give paracetamol 3 times a day to relieve pain for 2 days. She will be alright by then. Need to see doctor if she develops excessive drowsiness or repeated vomiting.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
