Could The Purplish Swelling In Head Be Due To Internal Bleeding?
hello my 8 month old son hit the left side of his head on a sharp bathroom cabinet corner. the is no superficial wound but the area is now swollen a bit and turned purple under the skin immediately after, and is now white. would there be signs of internal bleeding or should i take him to the er?
it is due to external bleeding, hematoma formation, will resolve soon, give him some analgesic Syrup. keep a watch on signs suggestive of internal bleeding as vomiting, seizures, excessive cry, poor feeding, uprolling of eye balls.
