What Are The Prolonged Injury Bumps On The Head Of A Child?

My one and a half year has fallen a couple of times on a hardwood floor on his forehead and it happened again a few minutes ago .....he seems fine...and i am putting a cold face cloth on it..... but my question is why doesn't the other bumps go away...does it mean he has brain damage?

Hi..

Thanks for contacting us..

Ur child had fallen twice and your query is why the previous bump not going away and want to know whether it indicates brain damage.
Madam what your child has is hematoma skin and subcutaneous tissue which will get reduced in a week's time.Y our cold sponging should help.

I hope he should not had an internal injury brain and if it happens child will be more irritable,can have vomiting,can throw fits and might have difficulty in moving limbs.

Incase he has any of these get an in person opinion from a doctor.

Take care Madam
