My baby fell off the bed today and hit his back of the head, resulting in a bump. What should I do?

Patient's question:

My baby fell off the bed today and hit his back of the head, forming a bump, but there was no vomiting. He cried for a while, but was calmed down and got better. However, he doesn't seem as cheerful as usual.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the child fell off the bed and developed a bump on the back of the head. There was no vomiting. This situation is generally not serious. Based on the current symptoms, the child did not vomit and did not cry obviously; the crying subsided after a while, which is mostly not serious. The bump is due to subcutaneous bruising, which will approximately dissipate in about 10 days. Please carefully observe the child for a few more times. If there is vomiting, restlessness, or fever, then it is best to see a doctor.
