A large head bump may be a subcutaneous hematoma, as well as a subcapsular tendon membrane hematoma or a subperiosteal hematoma, which are treated differently depending on the situation.
1. Subcutaneous hematoma: Subcutaneous hematoma requires cold compresses within 72 hours of injury to shrink capillaries and reduce swelling and pain, while hot compresses can be applied to promote hematoma absorption after 72 hours of injury.
2. subcapsular tendon membrane hematoma: subcapsular tendon membrane hematoma is more serious, if the hematoma is small, it can be bandaged with pressure and wait for its self-absorption, if the hematoma is large, it can be punctured and aspirated and then bandaged with pressure.
3. Subperiosteal hematoma: The treatment of subperiosteal hematoma is similar to that of capitellar subperiosteal hematoma, but one should be alert to whether it is accompanied by skull fracture, and if there is skull fracture, pressure bandage should not be applied to avoid causing epidural hematoma.
If the head knocked a large bag, also need to rule out whether the craniocerebral injury, brain hemorrhage, it is recommended to promptly seek medical attention, ask the doctor to determine the condition and give treatment.
