Question
My baby fell and got a bump at home, and it’s almost two months now, but it hasn’t gone down yet?
Answer
Based on your description, the recurrence of this symptom in your child may be due to a subcutaneous hematoma. Generally, applying ice within the first 48 hours after the injury can help reduce swelling, but it’s still necessary to observe for the possibility of intracranial injury. It is recommended that you closely monitor your child for symptoms such as dry heaves or dizziness. If these symptoms are not present, you can continue to observe for a while; if they are, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination immediately.
