What Causes Swelling On The Eyelid Of My 10 Month Baby?
Hi, my 10 month old baby fell last night and he had a slight bump on the front right side of his forehead. He cried for a bit and then calmed down and continued playing and crawling around. This morning when he woke up the bump was gone but now his right eyelid is swollen and he can't open it up all the way because of the swelling. I called my Dr but can't get in to see him...should I be worried? Other then the swollen eye he seems normal, crawling and playing with his older sibling.

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Injury to the forehead causing a bump usually leads to swelling of they're lids.
Sometimes the flour may also change to bluish black and is known as black eye.
It will disappear in due course of time .
If the boy is active,no vomiting or fits within 48 hours of injury you need not worry.
Hope this answer serves your purpose.
Please feel free to ask fruit queries if any.
