Hi
Thanks for writing to HealthcareMagic.
Do not worry.
The swelling should gradually settle
You can continue ice application.
LOOK CAREFULLY for warning symptoms like vomiting, nasal bleed, headache, altered consciousnes, decreased movement in any limb .
THis can happen anytime for next 48 hours.
If so she needs urgent CT brain.
Otherwise it should settle
Wishing your kid speedy recovery.
