What Causes Sudden Large Swelling On Forehead?
A few hours ago my six year old boy got some sort of bite on his forehead. At first it just looked like a mosquito bite but has now swollen to about half the size of a golfball on his forehead. He says it doesn t hurt and not experiencing any discomfort whatsoever. Even when I touch it he says it doesn t hurt. The knot is a pretty good size knot though. Should I go get and give him any type of medication i.e Benadryll?
