Having Noticed A Bump Between The Eyebrow And Just The Eyebrow
My 9 yr old son bumped heads with his brother, he has a goose egg between his eyebrows just above his nose, did the RICE treatment straight away. No signs of concussion, and no bruising on the bump. After a day the bruising developed just under his eyes, a day later it's now on his eyelids (looks like he's wearing eyeshadow). Should I get him checked out, or should I leave it a couple of days before taking him to be checked out? The swelling has gone done. It has been three days.

It is bleeding into eyelid and conjunctiva. You can apply some ice on swelling. It is self limiting and does not require any treatment.
