Suggest Treatment For A Painful Bump On The Forehead
My eight year old son bumped his head at school two days ago and left a small cut on his forehead and a bump. On the same day the kids had outdoor activities with the bright sun shining. He came home from school and complained of a headache and dizziness but had been checked out by an emt and got cleared of concussion. That evening about five hours later he pucked. He has had diarrhea since and been complaining of stomach pain. Which of the two is causing this, concussion or heat stroke?

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably he has developed folliculitis a bacterial infection.
You can use an antibacterial cream like mupirocine to be applied twice daily for a week.
A course of oral antibiotics might be required
Meet a dermatologist if symptoms persists.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
