What Causes Swollen Forehead And Nose After A Fall?
Question: My baby boy fell on Thursday morning and he now (it's now about 48 hours later) and he has a slightly swollen forehead and nose. I guess it's fairly minor since it took me about 36 hours to notice it, but I'm still concerned. Additionally, he's recovering from a virus that's causing a lot of congestion so I didn't know if that could be contributing to the swelling. He's acting normally, if maybe a little subdued.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about the fall your baby boy suffered. I have reviewed all the provided details and there are no red flags that we should be particularly scared of at this time. He is not manifesting any specific symptoms and it is normal to observe a small swelling after a fall as it is the body’s normal defense mechanism. Just to make sure there is nothing we are missing out on, I will suggest that you upload an image for further review and insights.

Congestion is unlikely to be contributing to this sweeping at this time. They are caused by two different mechanisms and do not work together to make either worse of not.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
