Suggest remedy for lump at the back of head in a 1 year old
Patient: Hello doctor, yesterday night my son 1.75 years old got hit in cupboard drawer he got hit in the back of his head. We just rubbed and stopped his crying. Today there was a slight swelling in that place but no bleeding. Can I apply iodex or any other option if u suggest it will good. Thanks Doctor: Hellowelcome to health care magic ,                     Lump at back of your baby is due to hematoma ( blood accumulation ) and soft tissue swelling , swelling will persist for 2-3 days . If baby is fine ( no vomiting, active , playful , not irritable or drowsy) you need not worry, it will resolve by 2-3 days . Do not apply iodex (it may cause secondary infection )Thanks
