Can Bruise Caused Around Ear And Lumps On Head, Caused By A Head Injury Pose Serious Trouble To An Infant?
I was at the doctor with my child previously about lumps on his head which i was told were cysts but nothing of concern. Three days ago my child fell over and banged his right ear off a wooden chair, after inspecting it he now has a small hard bump at d back of his ear near the bone n I'm unsure if its from the fall or was there before as there's no obvious bruise. Very worried mammy

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
When a child falls usually bumps will appear and they will slowly regress.
Nothing to worry about them.
But if the child develops vomiting,lethergy or convulsions within 48 hours of injury head it is a cause for concern and cause should be ascertained by taking a CT scan
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
