Asking for Self, Female, 0 years old, Lahore
My 9-month-old fell from bed 2 days ago and developed a large round swelling on the head. An X-ray at the ER showed no fracture. I used a warm compress initially, and the swelling flattened and spread to a wider, flatter area. Now there’s a smaller lump left, but today she has a fever. She’s currently eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing normally. I’ve given her fever medicine.
1. Is this pattern of swelling spreading/flattening after heat typical for a scalp hematoma? 2.Should she be re-examined even if she’s acting normal right.
it will be resolve by the time no need any intervention just keep observe the child and if I need consultantion I will be available online
1- kids with head trauma must be kept under observation even if there is no fracture and to look for danger signs
2- yes
