What does a lump on the forehead indicate?
Patient: My 1 yr old fell down our basement steps yesterday,  apps 10 wooden ones. He cried for a few seconds then he was fine. Bump to the forehead which is fine today, unstable walking, but he is just learning. No LOC or vomiting at the time of injury. Today he seems to want to nap a lot more then usual.  When he does nap, he is easily aroused. Am I just being paranoid? Doctor: Hello dearWarm welcome to Healthcaremagic.comI have evaluated your query thoroughly .*  The external swelling is hematoma , what is concerning  matters  is      desire  to  nap more may warrant  possible  internal  damage .*  Strongly recommended to undertake  CT scan brain to rule out any    underlying brain insult .Hope this will help you for sure .Regards .
