Suggest Treatment For Head Injury In A Child

My two year old daughter fell last week and hit her head against concrete. at the hospital they said it was the skull tissue bleeding and wasn't to major, but kept her in observation for hours. now a week later we feel what seems to be like a soft spot on her head. what could this be and what should I do.

Hi,
Nothing to worry as one week passed after head injury.
the soft spot you see might be due to collection of blood under the skin of scalp.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Ok and take care.
