Is Knot On Back Of Neck In A Child After Fall Normal?
My 26 month daughter fell off the bed. Bed height is 2 feet 9 inches. We have hardwood floors. When I ran around the bed I found her sitting upright in the corner. She landed sitting up straight some how. When it happened I kept her awake for 50 mins while we sang and had her move her arms and neck and checked her body for injuries..but she was coherent and just wanted to go back to sleep. She s been acting perfectly happy, energetic i.e. normal for the past 4 days but I just noticed a knot on the back side of her neck on the right side. The knot feels hard..she doesn t want me to touch it. Her neck motion is normal. She can turn her head and neck up, down, to the left and right without and hesitation. What do I do about the knot?

hi the knot is nothing much but some clotted blood due to her injury and it is painful for some time. as she didn't have any other problem like vomiting a, loss of consciousness no need to worry, it will spontaneously resolve in few weeks.hope this is helpful to you, rate it if you like it. take care
