Suggest Medication For Knot And Bruise On Head Due To An Injury
My 3 year old was running today and fell and hit his head on the edge on the concrete. He has a pretty good size knot on his head along with some bruising! I didn t take him to the doc just kept an eye on him for signs on concussion! And after about 20 mins he was fine. But now he is asleep I felt the knot and it s squishy and not hard. Should I be concerned?

HI...coming to your queries..you need not be concerned.
Usually a soft tissue swelling like this will take sometimes 2-3 weeks also to go off completely.
First be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behaviour.
If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury.
