My son is 7.5 yo and 2 weeks ago I noticed a hard bump on his head above his right ear. He said it was tender when I put pressure on it. I have been watching it and as of today it is the same. Still hard, about 2 inches in diameter, and tender when I apply pressure. He just had strep throat and finished 10 days of antibiotic. He is normally not sick and is a healthy kid. I will be making him an apt Monday.
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history.2 inches is a big size of a lump to have in a child of this age. I think you should get this checked from a Pediatric Surgeon and get investigated if your Doctor feels so. There must have been a history of trauma, the child Chat Doctor.
