Best Answer

If a rumbuctious toddler falls on his/her forehead, a small venule will rupture causing a 'goose-egg' swelling. If there is no LOC (loss of consciousness) and the child cries soon after the event, there is nothing to be concerned about. The swelling will usually subside within 48 hours, leaving some skin discoloration for another week. RBB, MD
