Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Symptoms: If there was a change in behavior, coordination or loss of consciousness, please see your pediatrician. If her examination, head circumference and examination/health is otherwise normal, there is less likelihood that this may cause developmental or health issues. Observe for signs outlined above. Place a cool compress on the bruised area and treat pain with children's Tylenol.
