What Are The Precautionary Measures To Be Taken With Haematoma?

My nine-year old son was going up for a header yesterday during his soccer game and collided with another boy head to head. He has a hematoma on his forehead about the size of a silver dollar. We saw a family friend (doctor) on our way home from the game.

He has no symptoms of dizziness, vomiting, light headedness, nothing. Running around like his hormal behavior.
This morning we have a huge hematoma. My question is: When is it safe for my son to exercise? Should I take any extra precautions at school? He is a rough and tumble sports kid and I'm worried that he might hit his tender area.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Good to know, you are watching for symptoms. If any of the symptoms are seen, go to ER immediately.
2. Hematoma here is due to rupture of superficial blood vessels. It will get down within a week.
3. He can start his regular routine after a week.
4. Watching for symptoms are adequate. No extra precautions necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
