Soft swelling on the head
Observed mild swelling on 1.2 yrs baby's head from last 4 days.If we touch the swelling part, it is soft to touch. 2 weeks back he fallen from height chair but that time swelling in forehead and it disappeared in a couple of days with icepack. He dint show any symptoms.No pain, he is active and taking foods regularly. Motion and urine are as expected. We started ibugesic syrup to rule out this swelling. Is that okay or any additional care needed?

If he is not crying even after touching, then need not give ibugesic..The swelling can be post injury which is resolving slowly..
Next Steps
wait and watch
