How to treat a head hematoma in a newborn?

Patient's question:

The hospital just delivered with a hematoma the size of a bowl at the head. The doctors used Yunnan Baiyao aerosol in the hospital. Now I have been discharged and also bought a bottle. I don't know if it's effective? How to use it? How long can the baby's head hematoma disappear? What kind of assistance...

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to avoid getting another hematoma. The effect of medication may not be good. There may also be side effects. Medication is not recommended. If there is an open wound, just pay attention to sterilization. If the wound is broken, please apply medication gently. Pay close attention and observe carefully. If you notice fever, neurological or mental symptoms, crying, or confusion, you need to get a head CT promptly to understand if there is an intracranial hematoma. Observe carefully for more than five days without any abnormalities, and it should be fine.
