How To Treat Bump On Injured Forehead?
My 9 year old son, was knee d in the forehead by an adult male. The bump is extremely large, and squishy. This was yesterday afternoon. He was fine, he said he was fine. He woke up today completely fine, BUT the lump is still visible and feels gross. Should I take him in to get looked at?
