Hello
welcome to health care magic ,
Lump at back of your baby is due to hematoma ( blood accumulation ) and soft tissue swelling , swelling will persist for 2-3 days . If baby is fine ( no vomiting, active , playful , not irritable or drowsy) you need not worry, it will resolve by 2-3 days . Do not apply iodex (it may cause secondary infection )
Thanks
