Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com
Good that you have given her first aid of ice pack. But I advice that let pediatrician see her and examine. If needed pediatrician will divert your to ophthalmologist opinion.
Swelling is due to the inflammation caused by injury. If the bleeding is continuous she may require stitches.
Hope she feel better at earliest!!
Your vote of thanks is much appreciated!!
