Brief answer:
Wait for 1 week.
Detailed answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Since, CT scan has already been done and only scalp hematoma is reported, there is no need to worry.
A scalp hematoma may take 3 to 4 weeks to settle down.
CT scan report rules out internal injury so we don't have to worry about this.
I hope this has helped you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
