Your four year old toppled a basket on top of him in a store and hit his head He has a soft large lump on the back of his head but is playing and doing everything normal Should you see a doctor?

Answer 1

Only if you are independantly wealthy and enjoy throwing money away. Children have been sustaining bumps and bruises for thousands of years but only recently has the medical community been so powerful as to convince parents that they need to be consulted for every bump and scrape. You will know if your child is in need of medical attention. As long as he/she is behaving normally and not in any pain then a trip to the doctor is a waste of time. In fact, it might be dangerous. The modern western medical community practises a form of cover-up medicine whereby they flood people's systems with unnecessary and often harmful chemicals (medicines?) to alleve every minor annoyance. All this accomplishes is a weakening of the body's ability to heal itself without outside assistance. This is partuiculalry harmful with children whose immune system can and often does become compromised and never develops properly. Look at the massive increase in Allergies in young people today...ask your grandparents if they have allergies...in most cases the answer will be no.
