Child fell from chair, large soft bruise at the back of the head

My son is 2yo. Fell while playing and had a bruise at the top corner back of his head. The next day he fell from the chair and the bruise got bigger. Seek for medical advise the next day but wasntold to wait and see. So far no fever, unconciousness, fluid coming out from ears or nose. Just that big lump that doesnt go away for5 days.

Thank you for your questions.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your son’s symptoms. As what the hospital advice, I would go with them as they are more informed about your son’s condition and already did examination on him. Moreover, it took about 2 weeks for bruise to go away.

So, rest assure, it is best to wait and see. Unless, he developed those symptoms that you mention above, you should seek medical attention again.
