What should be done if there is edema at the back of a child's head?

Patient's question:

A child was born two months ago, and about two months later, a walnut-sized swelling was found at the left upper back of the head. There was a sensation of water between the bone and the scalp, and pressing the area revealed a similar watery sensation in the surrounding scalp, though the area was not large. For ten days, the swelling has neither increased nor decreased. The child is feeding and sleeping well, and there is no pain when the swelling is pressed. What could be the cause? First follow-up question: The child was born smoothly, and there was no such abnormality postpartum.

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: Hello, it has been confirmed. Please cooperate with the doctor and actively treat it. Do not miss the best treatment time (0-6 months).
Suggestions: If the treatment is active, timely, and the course is regular, many babies like yours have recovered to normal. Wishing your little one a speedy recovery.
