How Can A Bruise On The Temple Due To An Injury Be Treated?

My daughter who has autism and doesn t speak, hit her temple area on the corner of the counter. I didn t think she hit it hard but she had a pretty nasty looking bruise on her head later on. She has no safety awareness and was chasing her sister around...will she be ok?

yes sure that will be ok within few days. you may use some ice to reduce it, that will be the only thing you should safely apply to her. don't use any ointments or creams since they can be spread to eye and cause irritation for your daughter
