Could Swelling In Eyes And Nose Bridge Be A Matter Of Concern?
Son,5 fell and hit the area between his eyebrows on a large vase. It swelled up, but he is acting normal. This morning he woke to two black eyes, that are swollen and the bridge of nose swollen. Should I go get checked? He says he feels fine just cant open his eyes as wide

Hello,
I understand your concern. First, be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery or bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behavior.
If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol every 4-6th hourly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
