What Does A Lump On The Right Side Of The Head Indicate?

I fell with my baby when running for safety and I took him to a hospital where he was placed on observation for 15 hours and he was declared alright thereafter but I noticed a soft swell bump on the right side of his head exactly on the eighth day.what could be the matter pls?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
You yourself told your child fell 8 days back
Now he might have developed some bruise over the area where head got inpacted
If he is not showing any abnormal behavior, any seizures or increased pain then we can observe the swelling which might go away
But if along with these symptoms and size of swelling increases then don't take it lightly
consult to your surgeon as soon as possible
good luck
