Causes and treatment of a lump on the back of a baby's head

When babies are very young, it is inevitable that they will have collisions. They will get bumps on their heads from falling. However, some bumps are not caused by falls, and parents should pay close attention to this. Why does the baby have a lump on the back of his head? What is the cause? So how to treat it? Here I will introduce to you the causes and treatments of a lump on the back of your baby's head.

Reasons why there is a bump on the back of the baby's head:

1. Lymph nodes belong to the body's immune system and serve as the body's defense barrier. They block or engulf bacteria that invade the body through the lymphatic system, filter and remove bacteria, and prevent the spread of disease. The lymph nodes of children develop fastest when they are 1-3 years old, and are basically fully developed when they are 12-13 years old. When the body reaches sexual maturity (around 25 years old), the lymph nodes stop growing.

2. Localized lymphadenopathy reflects that the corresponding tissues or organs are currently or have experienced inflammation. Scalp infection can cause swollen lymph nodes behind the occipital and ear; inflammation of the external auditory canal can cause swollen lymph nodes in front of or behind the ear; tonsillitis, gingivitis, and dental caries can cause swollen submandibular lymph nodes; infection of the incisors and sublingual area can cause submandibular lymphadenitis; various bacteria invading the child's mouth can cause ulcerative stomatitis, resulting in crying, irritability, refusal to eat, fever, drooling, and swollen cervical lymph nodes.

3. After the inflammation is cured, the swollen lymph nodes will take a long time to disappear. Generally speaking, this is normal. If parents accidentally find that their baby has swollen small bumps, but the baby's spirit and activities are normal, the small bumps do not hurt when pressed, and there is no fever, cough, fatigue, mental depression, or swollen lymph nodes in other parts of the baby, then they can observe the baby slowly and do not need to worry too much. It is very likely that the swollen lymph nodes caused by early infection have not yet disappeared, so there is no need to be too nervous.

Treatment of a lump on the back of the baby's head:

1. First, apply some pain-relieving oil or double-flying man on the bump on the back of your baby's head every day to help reduce swelling and blood stasis and prevent the bump from becoming more serious. Giving your baby enough water every day will help him eliminate toxins from his body.

2. Give your baby some seaweed soup or kelp soup, 100 ml at a time, to supplement calcium. Take a short period of time every day to take your baby out to bask in the sun. This can increase the activity of calcium, accelerate its metabolism, promote absorption, and enable the baby's bones to grow healthily. It can also heal the bump on the back of the baby's head.

3. Massage the baby's affected area regularly: hold the baby horizontally with one hand, and rub the baby's affected area with the other hand in a clockwise direction. Rub gently. When putting the baby to sleep on the bed, do not let the baby rest on the affected area. This can also promote the removal of blood stasis in the affected area.
