How Can A Lump On The Head Be Treated?
My son fell and hit a hard tile floor yesterday, hit his head and a knot the size of a nicked formed and a bruise about the size of a quarter around/on top of the knot. Today I guess the knot is gone because day care just called an is concerned that he does not have a goose egg and I guess is afraid that his injury is more "concaved". If it is "concaved' should this be a concern? He had no neurological concerns yesterday or today.

Hello,
Lump on the head (because of trauma) is usually a hematoma (collection of blood).
Eventually with in days, it will resolve on its own. For that, no treatment is required. Nothing to worry.
If you are still worried about the lump, please visit your family doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
