Is There Any Follow Up Required?
My son is age 11 4 10 just had a accident, band to the forehead above the right eye, at first big swelling and cut but no bleeding. After with a cold compress swelling reduced by 70% after 20 mintues. There are no signs of concussion no headaches he can walk, stand, sit okay. Checked pupils dilation same size on both sides are okay.

Hi and welcome to HCM.
since he doesnt have any neurologic symptoms which could indicate severe head trauma,I dont think that further doctor follow up is neccesary.just look for new signs in next 2 days and advice him to rest.
Thanks for the query. Regards
