What Is The Treatment For A Lump In A Child?
My son is about to be 9 months. 3 days ago he fell off my sister s bed which is about three feet. We took him to the hospital and they said he was fine, just a bruise. Today I noticed a very large lump on his head about two finger spaces from the bruises. This lump has not been there until today and is very soft. Feels like there may be fluid. I m very concerned should I take him to another doctor to be checked out?

Hi...this seems like a subcutaneous hematoma which is now getting into healing. It will gradually get absorbed by itself. Nothing to worry.
NO need to get checked unless there is -Vomiting continuously/ Seizures/ Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose/ Unconsciousness/ Altered sensorium or behaviour.
