Suggest Treatment For Lump On Head After Injury

My son, 5 yrs old, fell off bed and hit forehead 2 nights ago, resulting in a nasty lump on the head. I am concerned because today his forehead feels VERY hot to the touch, especially when compared to my other two children. Three times today I have taken his temperature with full expectaion that he was running a fever, but no fever was detected. He is also having a very persistent cough and congestion but this appears to be allergy related as it is similar to what happened this time last year. I am concerned the hot head could be the result of the trauma to his head???

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM.
Treatment for head lump-
a-Cold compresses- with Ice packs,
b-Consult a paediatrician -specialist doctor- for treating the lung infection with persistant-? allergic cough? URGENTLY.
c-The feverish forehead - is due to the post-traumatic-excessive localised-circulation-which is normal after the trauma.So dont worry about the hot head.You are right as its post-traumatic -inflammatory hotness.
d-Consult A Surgeon- if your son gets vomitting and other head injury -serious complaints, Surgeon would admit him and would treat it accordingly.
Hope this would help your worry to take proper steps for health.
Wellcome again if you have any more query in this regard.Have a Good Day.
