Patient's question:
All of us are working adults, and since our children were born, our mothers-in-law have been taking care of them. Our mothers-in-law have been taking good care of them. Now our children are almost eight months old, and they haven't been sick much, staying very healthy. Just yesterday after school, I was holding my child when I suddenly noticed a lump on the back of her head. I thought she might have fallen, but my mother-in-law said she hadn't. When I pressed the lump, my daughter didn't cry or fuss, which means it doesn't hurt. I also noticed she didn't show any other signs of discomfort.What kind of assistance is needed: What should I do about the sudden lump on the back of my daughter's head?
Doctor's answer:
If there is no vomiting or symptoms of anorexia, it should not be a big problem. 1. Rub the area with an egg. 2. You can apply cold compresses to the affected area. You can also apply vegetable oil immediately after the fall. This way, it will never swell, and it will never turn black. However, you can also apply a few drops of vegetable oil now. Vegetable oil has anti-inflammatory effects. It could also be a fibroma or a lipoma, which should not be a big problem. It is recommended to wait and see. If it does not grow, it is likely nothing serious. This is also common in children. If it grows, it can be surgically removed for treatment.
