A. Swelling and pus formation on the side of a toddler's forehead can be caused by several factors, including: 1. Infection: A skin infection, such as cellulitis or an infected insect bite, can cause swelling and pus. Infections like these require medical attention and sometimes antibiotics. 2. Injury or Trauma: If the toddler has bumped or injured the forehead, it can lead to swelling and potentially cause an infection if bacteria enter the wound, leading to pus formation. 3. Abscess: This is a localized infection where pus collects under the skin. It often requires medical treatment, like drainage or antibiotics. 4. Sebaceous Cyst: A blocked gland under the skin may cause a cyst, which can become infected and lead to swelling and pus formation. It's important to have the toddler evaluated by a pediatrician to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment.
