Suggest Treatment For Child Having Bruise In Corners Of Eyes
Hi my 16 month old boy fell into our coffee table and bruised between his eyes. It swelled very fast and very big it has been 4 hours ago and it is still very swollen. Now the bruise is going into the corners of his eyes. I have applied ice in a rag to it but the swelling will not go down. What should i do? Do you think he broke his nose or something?
Hi.... by what you say it looks like a hematoma which is spreading. But as it is spreading very fast I suggest you take him to the nearest Emergency Room and get him evaluated. If it had stopped spreading I would not have suggested this, but I insist that you take him to physician's evaluation.
