My daughter fell flat on her back and head, onto hardwood 2 days ago, off a counter top. She cried, seemed fine, i took her into the local health clinic and had the dr. Check her out and said she was completely fine, but to keep an eye on her. Since the incident she has develoved an extremely large soft bump on the top right corner or her head, the size of a small egg! It feels as though her brain is "seeping" through her skull.I am so worried, does anyone have an answer?
Hello, I can understand your concern. As the doctor has checked her, and she is not having any symptoms like vomiting, confusion, dizziness etc., what you are describing seems like a concussion wound on her head. There is no brain injury, otherwise the child will not be comfortable. Just apply ice over the bump, and it will reduce and disappear on its own in a few days. However, if she develops symptoms like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, balance problems etc., then a visit to a doctor is required. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter feels better soon. Best,
