Answer

If your child is not letting you touch it means there is some pain into that area probably that is why otherwise the kids are comfortable no matter where you touch them on the head on the face so just give it 24 hours more and then if you do not see that the soft budget is settling or it is increasing or it is some kind of swelling then you again check with your doctor
