Pediatrician,  's  Response
A bony protrusion generally does notj cause Pain. did the child hurt himself? Is the area hurting on touching? Then it may be a local superficial injury. Or else he may be experiencing a headache for which detailed history and examinatoon may be needed. Commonest cause in children is migraine which is best treated with rest and sleep when an attack starts. Medicines are given when the headache persists for long periods and recurs often.
I would suggest you observe for a week or two more to see if it persists or not
