Is It Normal For A Child S Eye Lid Being Swollen Due To Fall?
My 2 year old fell and hit his eye on the corner of a laundry basket a week ago. Initially, there was no swelling, just a scratch and a little bruising. Subsequently, there has been swelling of the eye lid for over a week now. I took him to a GP and she assured me he was fine. Is it normal for the eye to be swollen for over a week?

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
It is common for eye swelling to persist for a week
The loose tissues around the eye are the reason
Nothing to worry
Will settle soon
Wishing your child speedy recovery and good health
