Child Having Bruise, Round Indent After Hitting Table. How Long It Will Take To Recover?
Hi, my daughter is 16 months. She got hit to the corner of coffee table on her forehead about 10 days ago. The spot got bruise and now has gone, but there a round indent on the spot now. It is really obvious when she smiles and cries. Besides this, she behaves normal. Im just wondering if the indent can go away. How long will it be taken to recover? Thx.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Don't worry about indent that your daughter is having on her head due to trauma.
Wait for some time. It will automatically vanish away. Children bones have great power of modulation and it will also modulate in her case.
Other wise she is O.K. This is relieving.
Wish her for speedy recovery.
