Is A Bump Behind The Ear Caused By An Injury,dangerous?
Hi my 9mth old son banged the side of his head on the edge of our coffee table and now has a bump behind his ear and the top of his ear looks a little swallon, he seems fine but I'm worried as it seemed like quiet a heavy bang and of course because of the bump behind his ear. Should I take him to A&E.

Hello. I just read through your question.
As long as there was no loss of consciousness at the time od the injury, there is nothing to worry about. The location of the bump is also not worrisome. It will last from several days to several weeks before resolving.
