Suggest Medication For Redness And Pain After Hitting Back Of Head
My 4 month old son was sitting in a chair with a sharp edge at the photo studio and arched his back and hit the back of his head against the top edge of this chair. He has a one inch red mark from this. He cried a little but seemed okay after. He has been acting more fussy and crying over the rest of the day but otherwise seems fine should he go the ER?

Dear Parent,
In my opinion it would be better to get your baby checked by a pediatrician to make sure everything is alright, especially since your baby is not his usual self and is more irritable after the injury.
