What Causes Swelling In Right Side Of Head In Toddler?
Hi About 3 days back we discovered swelling on the right side of the head of my one year son. We went to doctor and he asked us about any injury. we dont know about any injury so he asked us to get CT scan. CT scan revealed nothing but swelling on the right side of head. No internal injuries. We are worried because if it was due to any injury it would have hurted him when we try to touch or press it. He behaves normally and his day to day activities are also normal. Please suggeat as we are very worried.

e hurt himself somewhere and is not in a position to tell about it. As the CT Scan is normal and the kid is behaving normally no need to worry about this.
