My 5 yr old son fell from his tricycle and has a bump on the back Side of his head I dint notice until 4 hours after he complaint as he touched it....at the time he fell I checked his head but dint noticed anything. I just rubbed some alcohol on the bump and put some vaporub...not sure if I should take him to the doctor s immediately or wait for any signs? It does seem like the bump went down a bit.
His am Chat Doctor. I have read your query. I think I can help you. There is a strong possibility that the bump is just a fluid collection after fall. It will probably resolve spontaneously. If he has no symptoms, just watch him. If there is any problem get to an ER and request a CT brain. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Please feel free to ask a further clarification.
