Suggest Treatment For Fluid Filled Spot At The Back Of The Head
I have a ten yr old African American daughter. She wears her hair natural fro. She felt a gooshy spot on top back of head. I felt it and it feels swollen and full of fluid. She has not fallen. She has no bites that I can see. She has no fever n no headache. She said it is not hurting at all or to the touch. However I am concerned. Local hospital not properly equipped to deal w small children and I am almost 1 hour n 45 minutes away from children s hospital. Is this something needing immediate care or can I wait to call Dr in morning.

Suggest Treatment For Fluid Filled Spot At The Back Of The Head
Hello, Most probably it could be an abscess or swollen lymph node. Consult a general surgeon and evaluated. A fine needle biopsy is required in case of diagnostic confusion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
