My 3 year old was running today and fell and hit his head on the edge on the concrete. He has a pretty good size knot on his head along with some bruising! I didn t take him to the doc just kept an eye on him for signs on concussion! And after about 20 mins he was fine. But now he is asleep I felt the knot and it s squishy and not hard. Should I be concerned?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Any head injury should be observed for 48 hours for Altered consciousness, vomiting and convulsions. If he is fine and if he has not developed above symptoms during the observation period of 48 hours you need not worry. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
