Patient's question:
We are all office workers. Since our child was born, our mother-in-law has been taking care of her, and she has done a great job. Now our child is almost 8 months old and has hardly been sick, her body is very healthy. Just yesterday after school, I was holding her, and suddenly noticed a lump on the back of her head. I thought she might have fallen, but our mother-in-law said she didn't fall. When I pressed the lump, my daughter didn't cry or fuss, which means it doesn't hurt. She also doesn't show any other signs of discomfort.What 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 affected area with an egg.
2. Apply cold compress to the injured area. You can also rub vegetable oil immediately after the fall. This way, it will never swell, and it will never turn black. However, you can also rub a few times with vegetable oil now. Vegetable oil has anti-inflammatory effects.
It could also be a fibroma or a lipoma, which should not be a major issue. 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, surgical removal may be considered for treatment.
