Patient's question:
The baby fell a few days ago and hit the back. Today, I noticed two soft, watery-like lumps on the left upper part of the head. Is the problem serious? The child hasn't vomited or shown any other symptoms and seems to be acting normally.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: I hope for a detailed explanation. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it may be a result of a scalp hematoma. After a scalp hematoma occurs, it may first become hard, then organize, and finally mature. After the injury, parents should closely monitor the child. First, check if there is any active bleeding. If there is a wound, parents should apply medication gently and avoid excessive bleeding. Whether it's the lips or other parts of the body, pay attention to any active bleeding.Second, observe if the child has any functional impairments in their limbs. If there is no active bleeding and no functional impairments, parents can gently comfort the child. Generally, after being comforted for a while, the child's crying will stop.
