My son is three years old and like a boy running around outside fell and landed straight on the side of his head all his face is grazed really bad my main worry is the bruise on his forehead it s not a lump but it had little red dots on the bruise and he done this not yesterday but the day before and tonight he not settling should I be worried he keeps waking up crying ???
Hello. I just read through your question. The most encouraging part about the story, is that he did not lose consciousness at the time of impact. Bruising can take days to weeks before it heals. Headaches can persist for several days after the injury. This does not mean that there is anything bad going on neurologically. You can treat the headaches with Tylenol or Motrin, and give the bruise more time to heal.
