Hi, my 5 yr old was treated for a forehead injury saturday nite at the er. no stitches required, but a really bad blow to the forehead. Today in between her eyes are swollen and seems to be getting worse. Should I take her back ? They did not do an x ray or ct

Hi and thanks for this query.
There is no need to take her back. This is an inflammatory reaction and it will take sometime before it settles. Anti inflammatory medications and pain drugs would offer more relief. However, if the swelling should increase further than what it is right now, please seek further medical evaluation.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
