Suggest Treatment For Big Bump On Head After An Injury
my son fell from his highchair almost a week ago. He didnt have a bump on his head till 2 days after the fall. its almost been a week and he still has a big bump. Is this normal?
after the fall we immediately took him to the doctors. She checked him out and said everything was fine. But I am worried about the big bump.

Hi...this big bump will take 4-6 weeks to settle and the fluid in it to get absorbed by itself. Nothing to worry. This is just subcutaneous edema and will settle by itself.
