How Long Does Hematoma Take To Heal?

My 14 month old daughter hit her head on her crib while trying to stand. Well now she has a huge bump on top of her head on the right side on the outline of her hairline. We were told it was a hematoma because you can push it in and has a sponge feel to it. It is not bruised nor does it hurt her. How long does it take for hematomas to heal?

Hello. I just read through your question.
How long a hematoma takes to resolve often depends on the size of the hematoma. In general it takes between one and two weeks.
