Suggest Treatment For Child Having Lump On Bone Above Eye

Hi my 2 year old ran into the corner of a drawer this evening at 6pm he immediately (within seconds) had a large lump (size of peach stone). I put a cold ice compress on and he seemed fine after a few minutes. The swelling was down (not completely) by his bedtime at 7pm. Should I be looking for any signs of concussion over next day or so? Lump is at front, on the bony part above his left eye.

Hello,

I can understand the concern. The bump or swelling over the bony area after hurting it hard is usual. As the swelling is reducing along with pain, you should not worry about adverse consequences. It seems that the injury and swelling will heal by body's natural healing mechanism. You can keep applying cold compresses. If the child is in pain, you can give him Paracetamol (Crocin) syrup 2.5 ml twice a day if needed.

However, if he develops symptoms like dizziness, confusion, fever, tremors, problems with vision, then you should seek emergency care.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your son recovers soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
