5 MONTHS OLD CHILD CAN TURN AROUND IN BED . THEY CAN GET BRUISE BY FALL ALSO. THE HARD LUMP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF RIB CAGE COULD BE LIVER AS IT IS SITUATED IN THE RIGHT SIDE BELOW THE RIBS. ALTHOUGH 5 MONTHS OLD CAN HAVE SMALL LIVER WHICH CAN BE FELT BELOW THE RIBS IN THE RIGHT BUT ITS NOT HOT NORMALY. I SUGGEST YOU TO VISIT A PEDIATRICIAN SOON
