Suggest Treatment For Welts On Cheek And Temple Caused By Fall
My two year old boy fell (short distance) from the toilet to the floor. He hit his temple and side of his cheek on the side of our sink cabinet. Cried, hugged and looked at his boo boos and then he was fine. Two small welts one on his temple other on his cheek. Should I be concerned?? He s sleeping now, woke up after an hour crying... Took a couple minutes but he s back to sleep. Please help with advice!!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The welts on the cheek and temple region can be secondary to the injury or it can be secondary to fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it evaluated. You might have to take a radiograph to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can give tablet or syrup paracetamol.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
