What Could Lumps On Back Of Head In Infants Suggest?
I have an 18 month old who has been actively playing all day. He runs into things, trips over things, and falls down all the time (as normal 1 1/2 year olds do!) But I just noticed a lump on the back top of his head! I was a little concerned and my husband said since he s still acting normal to wait a while and see if it goes down... he has a regularly scheduled dr. appointment tomorrow morning, would it be okay to wait and see how it is by then?
Your child must have suffered trauma over the back of head. It appears to be blood collected ( haematoma ) . Nothing to worry. It will resolve.Consult your doctor as per fixed appointment.
The swelling in question seems to be haematoma, which is a collection of blood due to injury sustained by your child while playing.So nothing to worry.It will resolve. Consult your doctor as per your appointment.
