Hi Doc, what s a soft tissue injury? My six month old daughter took a fall 5 days ago, we noticed a bulge on her forehead the next day, despite applying cold compress, antibiotics and vitamin c (recommended by our GP) the swelling is yet to subside, should we be worried? I m considering having an xray done...
Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor . Your daughter may have hematoma, which happened after injury of soft tissue-skin, muscles. Bones are normal, if you want to check -better MRA, because less radiation. If you apply heparin ointment 2-3 times small amount and rubber this place with massage, then it will disappear, you should wait 10-14 days, if bulge(hematoma) will not disappear then you go to neurosurgeon, he will do function and removing blood from there. Best regards Chat Doctor.
