my 8 year old sat down in a chair that had no seat in it (being recovered and he wasn t paying attention). he fell in the hole and his neck (base of skull) hit full on the edge of the wooden chair. it is swollen and blue -almost like a strawberry, he s tough and cried, he lost his appetite -he was hungry before the fall. should i be concerned?
Dear parent, As per the history given, If the child is conscious, no nose or ear bleed, no seizures or vomiting then u need not worry. The red bump will take 2 to 3 weeks to heal.
