Suggest Treatment For Bruising On Head Of A Child Post Injury

Hi there, my 2year old daughter fell off a climbing frame 4 days ago, she didn t pass out or anything, but she had a goose egg come up straight away,we took her straight to A&E where she was checked over (did her heart rate and temperature) and everything was fine, she s been fine in her self, her egg on her head went down pretty much straight away, but today bruising he come up in the corners of both of her eyes, on the sides of her nose. Should I go back to the hospital or is this just bruising because of the bump on her head. Thankyou.

Hi,

Your daughter needs urgent review by a doctor as this bruising is indicating the bleeding under the skin and she might also need brain imaging like CT brain to rule out base of skull fracture. Keep an eye on her symptoms and take her to A&E immediately.

Wishing her a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
