Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Head In A Child Post An Accident
Question: Hi my 2 year old son fell and hit the back of his head hard against the of the wall and now has quite a big lump, has still acting normal and being himself but every now and again says it's sore and also when he lays down, I'm freaking out though, should I be worried? will he be ok?
Brief Answer:
Your son will be ok...will explain you danger signs of head injury
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern. First be reassured that your kid is normal.
I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behaviour.
If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500mg) every 4-6th hourly.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
