Could Swollen Eye And Bruised Face Be A Matter Of Concern?

hi my son was playing contact ruby at school and had a injury to his head which caused him to have a swollen blood shot eye and the side of his face is bruised and swollen which is causing him to have headaches. should i take him to the eye hospital to get checked. he is just 12 years old and sometimes if his head gets banged sometimes he has nose bleeds in his sleep.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your son is having swollen eye and bruised face following a injury.
This needs examination by your doctor to rule out concussion head injury and injury to the eye.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
