Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 5 year old has been complaining of a pain in the temple area for the past few days. She says it hurts really bad but comes and goes. She also says the tylonol that I gave her last time did not help. If it still hurts tomorrow I will bring her to the doctor but it seems to come and go. Any thoughts on this?
Is there any swelling or skin colour change over the area? Any history of trauma? Is the area tender to touch?
A localised pain over scalp of recent onset can suggest either a small contusion from trauma or a soft tissue infection. If she do not have significant swelling or redness of overlying skin, try giving ibuprofen syrup (100mg / 5ml) 7ml three times a day for 3 days. If the pain is not coming down by then, kindly take her to doctor to see what exactly is wrong.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
