My grandson got a huge...size of a silver dollar bump on his head...about a
half an inch high. There is some black and blue around it but not the bump
itself. The allopathic doctor told her to watch him for next 48 hours and
wake him in every four hours in middle of night. Can i give him arnica 30c or
200 simply based on the black and blue and swelling..or is there any danger
that if there is internal bleeding..this might make it worse. The child won't
let his mother come near his head. I had told her to do the old cold knife
blade pressing against the bump but i've never dealt with such a big bump.

Give Arnica 30 - I usually do 1 pillule every 15 mins for 1 hour and then 3 x a day if it is the same day. You should see a remarkable improvement very quickly!!

my son jumped off a car when a todler and wound up with a goose egg bump.
the bone seemed to 'swell' and never go down. his head just grew into the bump.
today i would give arnica without hesitation and then do the watch and wait routine
they always recommend.

'Won't let his mother come near' is a typical Arnica symptom!
