What Does A Lump On The Forehead Indicate?
My 1 yr old fell down our basement steps yesterday, apps 10 wooden ones. He cried for a few seconds then he was fine. Bump to the forehead which is fine today, unstable walking, but he is just learning. No LOC or vomiting at the time of injury. Today he seems to want to nap a lot more then usual. When he does nap, he is easily aroused. Am I just being paranoid?
