Question
If a two-year-old accidentally hits their head and develops a lump, how should parents handle the situation to ensure the best care for their child?
Answer
Thank you for your question. Based on your description, the child may have sustained an injury leading to regional folliculitis or subcutaneous hematoma. It is advised that parents closely monitor the child’s condition and prevent further injury. Generally, the lump will resolve on its own within a few days. If it is folliculitis, apply Erythromycin ointment. Should there be any doubts, please provide a detailed description, and we will be happy to offer further assistance. Wishing your child a swift recovery.
