How Can Eye And Eyebrow Bruising And Soreness Be Treated?

My four year old daughter fell into a cement block today and before I was even able to pick her up the side of her eye and eyebrow were black and blue and welted. She will not let me put ice on it and I have her some Advil it s very sore to touch. Should I be concerned and seek medical attention?

Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
Bruising around eyes following a fall needs evaluation to rule out head injury.
If there was no history of loss of consciousness,closely watch for symptoms like drowsiness,severe headache,nausea,vomiting etc.If no such symptoms,no emergency and you can wait for your appointment
Meanwhile,you can continue advil,and ice pack application will help to relieve edema.

Hope this answer will help.
Wishing for a aster cure,
Thank you.
