Bump On The Forehead Post A Bang, No Headache. Treatment Required?
Hi Dr. Grief, my son is 5 yrs. Old and he collided with another child at school today. The bump is on his forehead at the hair line. Its about the size of a 50 cent piece, starting to brides a little, and squishy. He has been playing all day and not complaining of any headache if acting weird. Should I take him in to hospital to get checked? Thank you, Liz in CA

hi
thanks for writing
one should be more worried after a head injury if there is any loss of consciousneess or seizures or bleeding from ear nose etc
if there are no such symptoms its not a cause of worry
since your child is not having any such problem.......................just simple observation should suffice
hope the answer helps you
take care
