Re: Bulging above ears

[Guest guest]

My daughter is also experiences some bulging abover her ears. We

were thinking that it was swelling. It looks like pockets of fluid.

It is right abover her ears and also she get a puffy line where the

seam of the helmet. We saw our ped and ortho about this and they

dont seem to know what is causing it or what to do about it. My

ortho also said he was asking other professionals if they have

experiences this and what they suggusted. We are monitoring the

swelling and are schedule to speak with him tomorrow so I will post

any info I receive -please post what you find out. Thanks
