25 Month Baby, Got Hit On Eyebrows, Swelling, Eyes Dilating After 30 Minutes. Should I Allow Her To Sleep Or Keep On Checking Her?

My 25 month old fell and the corner of the table hit her between her eyebrows. It immediately turned black and blue and swelled up. 30 minutes later her eyes are dilating and she seems to be fine. Limbs seem to react fine, but it is bed time so she is sleepy (but laughing). Should I allow her to sleep or should I wake her up to check on her periodically throughout the night?

But as you are indicating that eyes are dilating.This may be a cause of some worry. you should immediately reach emergency room for excluding any internal bleed.
