My kids and I was outside for a while and suddenly noticed a lump swelling on my almost 13 yr olds forehead, but he swears he didn t hit it on anything and it doesn t hurt. I gave him an allergy pill in case it s from a mosquito but I m am unsure of what it is or what to do.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood the problem your son of 13 years is having. Since you were outside and your son swears there was not any direct hit on the forehead, the most probable reason can be an inset bite. Some stings may not cause pain but can have sudden swellings like your son has. IT is good that you have already given him an anti-allergy pill. He may require oral steroids. Consult a Doctor to get further treatment in the form of oral steroids if your Doctor feels so. Till then apply cold compresses.
