Question
An 8-month-old baby has discovered a swelling under the scalp during the postpartum period. The swelling can be pressed and moved, and there is no pain. What should be done?
Answer
The hematoma under the scalp may gradually reshape with age growth and generally poses no significant harm to the body; it is recommended to have an ultrasound to check for any residual blood. If there is any, it should be drained; swelling may take several months to resolve. Heat compress can help promote absorption.
