Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I'm very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. Could you please explain what it means when a soft lump appears on an infant's head?Doctor's answer:
Hello, did this occur after a normal delivery? If so, it's likely not a case of a scalp hematoma, and you should monitor whether it turns purplish. I recommend observing it. If you're unsure, it's best to go to the hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Then, you can see if it can improve on its own. Your condition might be a cold caused by wind and cold, which is more common in autumn and winter. The symptoms include body aches, nasal congestion with a runny nose, and cough with phlegm. Treatment can involve Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, or dietary therapy. I suggest using Jing Fang Bai Du San for treatment.
