Not Sure Whether The Bump Is Due To The Fall Or An Insect Bite

Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2024

Question: Hello, I'm concerned because my daughter fell down today and now has a bump on her eyelid. I'm not sure whether the bump is due to the fall or an insect bite. I've attached a photo for reference, and I'm wondering what I should do next. I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to manage a bump/swelling on the eyelid.
