Does Fluid Formation After Eyebrow Injury Require Medical Attention?
I had a fall the other night and split my eyebrow, bleeding stopped and has scabbed over now. Yesterday the swelling was above my eye but that has reduced. Today I have fluid underneath my eye. I have no difference in sight or anything and hardly any pain at all it's just annoying because the fluid is making it a little hard to see out of my eye. Just wondering If the fluid will go away by itself or will I have to see a dr? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. Tracie

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is important to know if the injury area is developing an infection. This can only be confirmed after seeing a doctor. To avoid infection you need to take a course of antibiotics. A short course of broad spectrum antibiotics is important. Also a tetanus toxoid injection need to be taken. You can take diclofenac and serratiopeptidase tablets for faster healing and pain relief.
