Is Red Bump On Head After A Hit On Head Of A Child Serious?

My 10yr old son tried to jump up and sit on the counter and hit his head on a cabinet door that was open. Immediately got a bump and little cut not bleeding but red. Its on the top side of his head. Should I bring him to the doctor? No signs of any effect and he says it does not hurt anymore after 5min.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bump on the fore head can be because of the inflammatory response secondary the impact following trauma. The other possible cause can be a fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated, if required a radiograph can be done to rule out any bone fracture. Mean while you can take an anti inflammatory drug like serratiopeptidase.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
