7-month-old baby – sudden swelling near
My baby is 7 months old and suddenly developed a small swelling on the head near the ear. It is not painful, the temperature of the area feels normal (not unusually warm), and the baby is otherwise behaving normally. Could this be an insect bite or some kind of infection? Does it require immediate treatment or can we just observe it for a couple of days?
