Does A Persistent Lump On The Forehead Need Follow Up?

Hi my 2 year old bumped her forehead on a wall. After 2 weeks she became irritable/needy - it only lasted 2-3 days. The bump went down, however it did not go away. You can feel it when you rub your finger over her forehead. Any advice to why this bump is not going away? Should I have an MRI done?

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This swelling is nothing but hematoma.
Need not worry.
This gets absorbed slowly.
If pain is there, then pain killers can be taken with doctors advise.
If vomiting occurs, see your doctor early.
Hope this helps. Wish you healthy life.
Thanks. Regards.
