My 7 year old son fell off of his bike about three years ...

Sent to Health Experts November 22, 2005 10:30 a.m.

My 7 year old son fell off of his bike about three years ago, and hit his head. He recently told me that he has a dent in his forehead from his bike accident. I felt his head and it feel like his skull was possibly cracked. After his accident, he was absolutely fine. He exhibited no unusal behaviors or symptoms after his fall. Should I be concerned about this possible fracture? What should I do, if anything?

ACCEPTED

There is nothing you can do at this point since it has been 3 years. But I would take him to his doctor and let his doctor check this out so that he is aware of this, and if he feels he should he may order a ct scan to see if there is a fracture of some sort and at that point can determine if there is anything. Other wise there at this point there is no home treatment. But to be safe.. do take him to be seen.

Hope this helps.
