What Causes Bump On Head After Falling Down?
My 5 yr old son fell from his tricycle and has a bump on the back Side of his head I dint notice until 4 hours after he complaint as he touched it....at the time he fell I checked his head but dint noticed anything. I just rubbed some alcohol on the bump and put some vaporub...not sure if I should take him to the doctor s immediately or wait for any signs? It does seem like the bump went down a bit.

Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I can help you.
There is a strong possibility that the bump is just a fluid collection after fall.
It will probably resolve spontaneously.
If he has no symptoms, just watch him.
If there is any problem get to a ER and request a CT brain.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Please feel free to ask a further clarification.
