Question

Why does a newborn develop a bump inside the scalp after a fever?

Answer

When a newborn develops a bump inside the scalp following a fever, it could be due to an infection, connective tissue disorder, or even a malignant tumor. In such cases, parents should first take measures to reduce the fever and then determine the cause of the fever. Medication should not be rushed without identifying the cause. If no cause is found after hospital examination, further investigation and treatment can be considered.
