My son developed a goose egg around his temple area three weeks ago. It never showed a bruise and he did not recall hitting his head. We took him to the doctors and they did a physical examination and said it was a hematoma. It has not gone down in sizzle and sometimes it looks bigger. He is now complaining of dizziness every so often. Should I take him back to the doctors.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Head injuries need to be observed for the first 24 hours. The following are alarming symptoms (within first 24 hours) of a head injury that needs a doctors' attention.1. Vomiting2. Seizures3. Persisting neurological deficits (numbness is a neurological deficit)4. Difficulty in maintaining gait5. Vision problems6. Increasing severity of headache any of the above symptoms (including dizziness) have occurred and are present even after 24 hours then you need to see a doctor and get a CT scan brain done for your son. If he is experiencing dizziness and nausea which is not subsiding even after 3 days, they may visit the ER.
