What Causes A Left-sided Bump On The Head After An Injury?

Hello, I would like to ask about my daughter s condition. My five month old daughter fell off from the bed yesterday noon. She cried immediately after she fell so I carried her to calm her down and she did. But I can t calm myself down for what happened, I waited for my partner to get home so we can take her to the hospital. While waiting, I continued observing my daughter if she would still act normally which she did. She drinks her milk and still moves around like she used to but I m still worried. It s the first time that something like that had happened. We took her to the hospital and the doctor said she s okay. They didn t recommend a CT Scan because my daughter shows no sign that she needed to be scanned. But I m still worried. There s a bump on the left side of her head, right above her ear. It s soft to touch. Should I be alarmed about it? Or is it normal because she had a fall and will eventually subside/heal on its own?

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

No need to worry, as there was no loss of consciousness or seizure. Bump is actually there due to inflammation in scalp area. It will go itself in 4-5 days.
