What To Do If Child Had A Soft Spot On The Side Of Head After Falling Off The Bed?

Our daughter (14 months) has a soft spot on the side of her head. She doesn t seem to notice it and there is no pain when touching it. It wasn t there yesterday. She did fall off the bed about 5 or 6 days ago, no bumps, bruises and only a few tears. I took her to a quick care and they said just keep an eye on her

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
She has developed hematoma. Leave as it is. do not touch, prick or massege.
Gradually it will be absorbed with due course of time of about three weeks.
If tenderness,or fever develops then please consult the doctor.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
