Suggest Remedy For Large Bump On Forehead
My son woke up this morning with a big know on his forehead. The area is not red, nor can we see and bite mark. The swelling has progressed down along his nose and the large bump is filled with fluid.l He said he hit his head on his ladder on the way out of bed. He is acting fine, but the swelling and fluid-feeling area scares me. Should i take him in?
