Suggest Treatment For Bump On The Head After Injury In Kids
My 10 month old son fell and hit his head above his ear on the corner of the coffee table. He has a bump on his head which appeared rather quick. I don t know if this is a normal goose egg like reaction or if I should be worried since he hit his head above his ear
