Hello ...
Thank you for asking query
I read you Query ,your 2 year child got small cut &large lump due trauma this morning , Reg. your son injury ,i would suggest you, child to be examined by doctor ,as any injury over scalp /fore-head should be of concern ,i should not to be taken simple injury ,as below this area -skull -is lying the brain , so brain trauma should be ruled out only by physical examination,and Dr will ask some question related to this injury,like any vomiting, loss of balance, any loss of consciousness after injury, is child active after injury or not , doctor can request x ray head if required ,so consultation is needed in this case.hope you got the answer.
