Im a little concerned, my son 22months fell and bumped his forehead on the edge of his bed 2 weeks ago now. It was quite a bump but had a cold compress applied and settled quickly with no concening signs, apart from an egg. Bruise appeared quite quickly.He has been fine but now bruise is going i can feel a raised bump that runs vertical just off the centre of his forehead. Now im worrying it may be worse and be his skull or that im just being silly.Many thanks for your time
HI... I understand your concern. Without any signs of raised pressure in the head you need not worry. Sometimes the bump may even take 4-6 weeks to settle. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly.  Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
