my daughter swam into a step in our pool and scraped her face. a bump has popped up and its squishy...should I be concerned? She said her head doesn t hurt or she doesn t feel like she is going to throw up. She wants to go to bed but I afraid to let her sleep.
Hello. I just read through your question. This happens often. The fact that she didn't lose consciousness upon impact indicates that no brain injury occurred. The swelling is going to last for several days before it heals, and this is normal. The only other sign to watch out for is vomiting.  As long as this doesn't happen, there is no need for concern. There are no restrictions on any activity, and she can safely go to sleep if she wants to.
