Question
Suddenly, a hard lump has appeared on a child’s head without pain. What could be the cause?
Answer
This symptom could be subcutaneous lipoma, also known as phlegm nodule in traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to take Sanzi Yangqin Soup in powder form and swallow it, and continue for a period of time, which may be effective. Additionally, surgical removal treatment can also be considered. As for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it is not necessary to undergo. The most important thing is to determine the child’s problem. If all clinical examinations are normal, no additional treatment is needed. It is suggested to undergo treatment under the guidance of a local physician.
