11 Month Son, Small Soft Lump With Red Mark On Head After Hitting Head. Should I Meet A Doctor?
Hello, my 11 month old son fell and hit his head on the corner of window sill. The windows are long so he was standing and didn't fall far. He only cried for a minute or so but I noticed a small soft lump with a red mark on the back of his head. No bleeding and he is sleeping now but I am still wondering if I should take him into the ER.
