Suggest Remedy For Soreness Around Left Eye Due To Injury
Hi, my nephew fell from a bed today on to a hard floor. The impact was around the left eye. The bone around the left eye nearest the temple is now swollen and bruised. I have advised my sister that he should be seen by a professional to rule out any possible fractures. He has not vomitted or changed in behaviour. What else should she do?

Hi I'm Dr Nallammai
Welcome to HCM
The good thing about the injury is that she has not vomited which is one of the warning sign to do CT to rule out any hemorrhage..
As there is swelling it is wise to consult an orthopedician and X-ray should be taken to rule out any fractures
I wanted to know whether she had loss of consciousness which is again a sign of hemorrhage
Otherwise nothing to worry about injury
Ask her to take T.combiflam 1-0-1 and T.Rantac 1-0-1 for 2 days..for pain relief
