Noticed A Small Bruise At The Temple Due To An Injury
2 and 1/2 year old just hit her temple pretty hard on the baby gate while it was open. Small bruise closer to corner of eye. Looking like a line instead of a circle. She says her head does not hurt and she never lost conscious cried for a couple minutes. Do I need to take her to er? She is holding her head randomly like it may be hurting.

greetings,
getting a scan done on the head injury is a very controversial topic.
So if your child is good,not getting cranky and lis not as such complaining of headache.has not vomitted and not feeling drowsy or lost consciousness even for a little while then seems like she's doing good.
you can actually show to your doctor if you see any unusual things or any symptoms or signs that i have mentioned.
Hope this helps.
