Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Knot at forehead in a 2 year old child could be due to insect bite. In insect bite, there is redness and swelling at the site of insect bite which usually itches.
In my opinion, you should give hydroxizine syrup 5 ml PO three times a day for 3 days.
Review after 2 days.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
