Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Between Eye Brow After Injury
my one year-old fell into the corner of a piece of furniture in our dining room. There is a one inch red mark starting above his left eyebrow. this happened around 10 am today. Now the red mark is still there and he has swelling on his forehead right between his eyebrows. i know the rule is the bump should go out, not it, but i am concerned with the swelling.

Hi,
By what you say this seems to be a very trivial soft tissue injury or hematoma formation. This is usually self-limiting.
If the kid is showing any signs of loss of consciousness or double vision or continuous vomiting and headache then you need to worry about the injury. Otherwise, this will be getting better in another 48 72 hours.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
