Is A Painful Lump On The Head Of A Child A Cause For Concern?
my daughter who is 7 yo was hit in the head at about 7:30 am this morning. She said it really hurt until about 9 am and she told me about it at 5:00 pm when I picked her up from school. She had a big egg on the back of her head and it really hurts to even the lightest touch. We put ice on it this evening but I dont know if I should take her to the doctor or not.
