Suggest Medication For Pain Noticed In Head Due To A Bump
My three year old bumped his head a couple of months ago, he seemed fine afterwards, he cried but i kept him awake, he didn't vomit or anything. The swelling went down after a week but lately i've noticed his bruise is still there with a minor bump. should i be worried? should i take him to the doctor?

There is absolutely no cause to be worried about.
Its likely to be due to discolouration of skin due to accumulation of Hem pigment released due to breakdown of hemoglobin of hematoma. It will resolve over nect couple of months and there is no cause for concern.
