Is Swelling Near Eyes After A Forehead Injury,normal?
My 3 year old got hit on the forehead (right above the temple) from playing baseball with his 5 year old cousin, and received 7 stiches, that was two days ago now he has swelling in the eye area which he did not have before, is it normal or should i have him re-checked at urgent care? Doe's it mean he has something internal going on?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It is quite natural to develop swelling of one or both eyes with the injury on the fore head.
It subsides i due course as the wound heals.
Nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
