Child Had Head Injury, Bump On Eyelid. Applied Ice. Can Open Eye Only Halfway. Should I Go To ER?
Hi my daughter was playing with her uncle and as she was walking to him she tripped and fell right into his wooden bed frame. She has a large goose egg bump her eyelid to her eyebrow. She interacted with me as I was putting ice on it and she is now asleep. What I m worried about is she could only open that eye half way due to the size of bump, so I couldn t Tell if her eyes were uneven. Should I take her into ER for further examinations? She is 11 months by the way.

Hi
Its better to have her examined by a doctor to rule out any underlying injury to the eyes.
For pain just acetaminophen will do in dose of 15mg/kg/dose, repeated every 6 hours for a day or two.
Till then you can continue with cold compresses.
Wish your daughter a speedy recovery.
