What Causes Swelling On The Eyebrow?

My toddler had a small mosquito-bite looking bump on his eyebrow when I picked him up from his nanny s house that I didn t give a second thought to. When he woke up next day, it was about the size of a small marble. It doesn t seem to bother him. After an outside birthday party, I noticed it had swelled to about a small bouncy ball. He s napping now, any suggestions?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... the possibilities could be a n insect bite allergy...but when it is not bothering him with itching and it is increasing in size and if it is having a purplish discoloration, I would consider an injury or a bleeding disorder- I suggest - consult your pediatrician.
