What Does Swelling On The Head After An Injury Indicate?

My 7 month old fell down stairs yesterday afternoon. He had swelling on the top of his head, doctors did a ct scan which came back normal. Today he s been sleeping a lot more, not as hungry as he usually is and the swelling has gone from his head to his forehead and has gotten worse over the course of a couple of hours. What s going on? Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Thanks for consulting him. I didn't get the CT scan report. I assume that it is normal.

Swelling may take time to settle down, and also post traumatic conditions play a role here, but can be confirmed with the CT scan report.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manjunath J.V.
