Suggest Treatment For Soft Spot On Head Due To Hit On Tile
My son had a fall a few days ago and hit the right side of his head above the ear on the hard tile - he is 11 months old. All the normal crying and fussing then he returned to normal after a few minutes and has been completely normal since. He does now have a large soft spot on his head where he struck the tile - but there is no discoloration at all - it does not hurt him at all when I press on it and he is acting completely normal. There does appear to be a ridge to the skull around the area that is swelled. Should I do anything?

Hi...this seems to be a soft tissue swelling due to the trivial injury. You need not do anything for it. It will settle in 2-3 weeks times. No need for ay medicines or ice application also.
