Suggest Treatment For Bumping Head While Falling
Question: Hello my son bumped his forehead in a fall should we tske him in
Brief Answer:
Swelling on the forehead
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
The bump on his forehead looks pretty big, it must have been a bad fall. As per protocol any injury to the head should be investigated with a CT scan, I recommend that you take him to the ER and get a CT brain done. In the measn time here is what you should do
1. Apply cold packs over the bump
2. Tab Tylenol can be taken three times a day for the pain
3. He might get black eye, dont worry about it. It tends to resolve on its own
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
