Thanks to HCM
I can understand your son concern
don't worry ,as he felldown from 5 feet height It cause counter coup haematoma on the skull
this bump is due to collect of blood in the skin of scalp or head
anyway child is active ,no other symptoms but for better sake undergo once ct scan brain to find out any bony lesions in skull
give him electrolyte sachets to drink ,keep him in good airflow room
don't allow to sleep on the swelling side of head .
normally body has a mechanism to reabsorb the swelling in 2 to 3 days
if not you can consult once your family doctor and take further advise .. ok
