Question

A two-month-old baby was discovered to have a walnut-sized swelling on the left upper back of their head about two months after birth. It feels like there is fluid between the bone and scalp, and when gently pressing on the swelling area, there is also a sensation of fluid accumulation under the surrounding scalp, although not extensive. This condition was noticed about ten days ago, and the size of the swelling has not changed significantly since then. The child’s eating and sleeping habits are normal, and there is no pain when pressing on the swelling area. What could this be?

Answer

Hello, after diagnosis, please actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and do not miss the optimal treatment window from 0 to 6 months. Suggestion: Many babies with similar conditions have recovered to normal with active and regular treatment. Wishing your little one a speedy recovery.
