Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son was playing and bent over and hit his forehead on the corner of the coffee table. It instantly swelled and is now a huge goose egg. He cried right away and didn't throw up. He has had juice to drink since. He is napping right now. Should i take him in to get checked?
No need to worry if the child is active and sleeping, watch for warning signs like loss of consciousness, seizures, vomiting etc, u can apply cold compression to that haematoma with ice pack and do close monitoring and can give paracetamol/ibuprofen if there is pain :)
