What Causes Dent On Head Due To Hitting?
My seven month old son hit his head on the sharp corner edge of a wooden dining table chair. He I'd not lose conciousness ad he did cryalmost immediatebly after pulling a sad face. Initially there was what felt likw a small bump but now he seems to hav a small dent on the side where he banged it ?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
Seven moths old may develop a dent because of soft skull bones.
If the baby does not develop vomiting, seizures,altered sensation within 48 hours, nothing to worry.
The dent will disappear as the child grows.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
