Does Painless Swelling In The Head Caused By A Fall Need Medical Attention?
My daughter hit her head this weekend on the flood and got a nice goose egg, the swelling is going down still but now has 2 black eyes. This morning she was swollen but now it s black and blue. Is this normal? Or should I seek medical treatment for her? She is acting normal and does not say she is in pain anywhere on her head other then the original spot she hit.

Hi,
This sounds like a trauma that has led to a fracture of the basis of the skull. You should definitely go to the ER for a check.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
