Suggest Treatment For Double Vision And Huge Knot On Forehead

My four year old Grandaughter has been complaining of double vision the past two weeks. She had a fall 2 months ago and had a huge pump knot on her forehead. The doctor said it was fine. My daughter is afraid she has a brain tumor even though she has no other symptoms. Can you offer any insight?

Hello
It seems from the history that your granddaughter is having double vision. Double vision needs to be evaluated.
The cause depends on the type of double vision , depending on whether it is present only on opening both the eyes or it is present even with the one eye kept open. The common causes for double vision which is present only on opening both the eyes are nerve palsies affecting the extraocular muscles.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
