Is A Knot And Pain In The Forehead A Cause Of Concern?
My 5 year old son slipped and fell and hit his forehead at least four or so weeks ago. He still has a knot on his forehead, but will complain from time to time that his head hurts. It was about a week or so after he fell that he would say my head feels like it s shaking. He hasn t said that recently. Should I get him checked out? Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If he has not felt unconscious or has not vomited or has not developed sensory or motor problems after head injury then nothing to worry. For local hematoma (swelling or bump) over the scalp you may give paracetamol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
