What Could A Bump On Forehead Of A Child Be?
my daughter is 5 and weighs approximately 50 pounds. she woke up this morning with a goose egg on her forehead and didnt complain of hitting her head the day before. tonight before she went to bed i noticed it went to her left eye and and her nose bridge looks swollen and a little bruising around her eye. we thought maybe it was a reaction so we gave her some childrens benadryl and the swelling went down a bit so we gave her some before bed time. what do you think is causing this?

Hello. I just read through your question.
It is possible that even a small, unnoticed tap to the head, perhaps even while asleep, caused the bump. It is not unusual for the swelling to move downward with time as a result of gravity. It will resolve on it's own. There is no need for worry.
