There is a soft bump on the baby's head

Parents hope that their newborn babies are healthy and free of any abnormalities. However, some parents have discovered that there is a soft bump on their baby's head. There are many reasons why a baby has a soft bump on his head. Some are due to birth tumors, and some are due to soft tissue injuries. The important thing is to first understand the child's condition and solve the problem accordingly. Let’s look at the main reasons why babies have a soft bump on their heads.

The soft bump on a newborn's head is caused by the head being squeezed during delivery and the rupture of small blood vessels.

Guidance: The condition you are talking about is called hematoma. Scalp hematoma recovers faster, while epidural hematoma recovers slower. You can now apply hot compress to reduce the swelling.

Second, the first thing you need to consider is local soft tissue damage!

Guidance: The first thing to consider in clinical practice is local massage therapy, and some anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used in combination!

Guidance: If the hematoma is caused at birth, it will be absorbed slowly. Generally, cold compress treatment can be applied within 24 hours after birth, and the baby can be observed afterwards.

Fourth, the soft bump on the baby’s head is probably not a birth tumor. It was a subscalp hematoma caused during childbirth.

Guidance: The tumor usually disappears within 1-2 days. Your child's soft lump has not subsided after such a long time, so you should consider the possibility of hematoma. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up. If the hematoma is too large, you can also draw blood under sterile conditions and apply pressure bandage.

Guidance: Experience has shown that Chinese medicine gallnut powder is mixed with white vinegar and honey to form a paste, applied to the lump, covered with plastic wrap to keep it moist and fixed, and the dressing is changed once a day. It will be completely absorbed by the machine and return to normal in about a week.

Sixth, there is a soft bag on the head of a newborn baby. Generally, it is edema caused by forceps when the baby is born. It is not a big deal and it will be absorbed slowly.

Guidance: There is no need to treat it now. Just pay attention to feeding. The nutrition should be comprehensive and the child should not be picky about food. Observe the child after three months.
