Hi
With your quwry, dont know how did you confirmed it was a hematoma however such lesions must be clinically examined and treated for good prognosis otherwise it may act as nidus for infection.Hope your daughter is nit having any other systemic complications like bleeding disorders my sincere suggestion is visi your doctor and know the reason for sudden increase in swelling which is not a normal clinical sign.Hope this helps you
