There is a soft package at the top for more than a month and it hasn't been returned yet. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The child is 17 months old. Over a month ago, they fell from the bed and didn't move for two or three days. A bump appeared, and it hasn't gone away yet. It feels soft, as if there's water inside. Regarding assistance: I want to ask how to treat it...

Doctor's answer:

If you verify that the bruise on your head was caused by falling from the bed over a month ago, you can use a warm towel for cold compress while gently assisting with massage. It will fade away!
Medical advice: If the swelling is caused by trauma, it should not feel like there is water inside, as it is due to internal edema – bleeding and swelling within the tissue caused by the injury! If you suspect there is water inside, it is recommended to go to the hospital's surgical department for a puncture examination if necessary, and have the extracted fluid tested. Confirm the treatment based on the results! Wishing you a happy New Year!
