Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi John,
I am fine.
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The dent is due to impact of injury on his forehead.
Nothing to worry as this will subside.
You can put ice pack for pain relief and the swelling to subside.
Give Tylenol or child ibuprofen if the pain is significant.
Look for danger signs like vomitings, headache, bleeding from nose or ear, and fits.
Consult the pediatrician for physical assessment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
