Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You should immediately consult neurologist and get done MRI brain to rule out internal brain injury.
You are having swelling around one eye and is now spreading to another. It is also purple in color.
So possibility of brain heamorrhage is more likely.
So without wasting time, consult neurologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
