What Causes Sudden Large Swelling On Forehead?

A few hours ago my six year old boy got some sort of bite on his forehead. At first it just looked like a mosquito bite but has now swollen to about half the size of a golfball on his forehead. He says it doesn t hurt and not experiencing any discomfort whatsoever. Even when I touch it he says it doesn t hurt. The knot is a pretty good size knot though. Should I go get and give him any type of medication i.e Benadryll?

Hello,

As long as it does not hurt, it will need no medication. bit you should watch her size, if it increases or not.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
