Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son was in mid run when he collide with his younger sister. He now has a huge lump that formed almost instantly. Sister is ok.. I just want to know if I should take him to the E.R since its the only thing open this late or is there signs that I can watch for indicting he needs to see the doctor.
Hi..what you quote seems to be like a hematoma. Usually they settle in due time and almost never get complicated...but it depends on where it is formed. If its is in head...you need to know about danger signs - 1. Vomiting continuously 2. Seizures 3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose 4. Unconsciousness 5. Altered sensorium or behaviour. if these are not there, you need not worry. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
