Lump on my 3 month baby’s head

[Jaime5]

Hey everyone so I’m going the doctors tomorrow but I just want to know if anyone has experienced this with their babies before? or any ideas what it could be? because it’s really worrying me at the moment but my baby has had this lump on his head for about a week and it feels like fluid, I have no idea what it could be, besides that my baby seems fine by all means, I just can’t help but worry until we go see the doctor, I should also mention when I had him they had to use the vacuum suction thing on his head.

Definitely get him to the GP today or nip to A&E. Is he alert and behaving as normal?

That looks like a bulging fontanelle. I would ask to be seen by your doctor immediately or go to A&E personally.

Don’t panic, I’m not remotely medical but I’d be very cautious in case of encephalitis.

Is it above his fontanelle?

He's had it around a week? Did you seek medical attention when it first appeared?

Straight to A&E, I’d want to get him checked. Don’t want to worry you but I would really get him seen by someone soon. Not medical myself but bulging fontanelle can be something serious. Hopefully it’s nothing but best to get him checked out asap.

I'd definitely seek a medical opinion, probably start with GP. I've no medical knowledge but I do think it should be checked out.

I would go to A&E now.
Good luck, could be nothing but could be something.

How is your little baby?

How is your LO @Jaime5?
