Suggest Remedy For A Black Eye From An Inury
My 22 year old son got hit on the side of his eye with a softball during a game. It was not a direct blow, but it is swollen and purple. He is a bit lightheaded. Is their anything else we need to do besides ice - no aspirin, perhaps staying elevated and checking on him frequently. When is professional medical care needed?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your son is having black eye from injury. This requires cold compression and avoiding drugs like aspirin and it will resolve by 1-2 weeks as the blood gets absorbed slowly.
You need to consult your eye doctor if you are having symptoms of double vision, blurring of vision, pain and redness of eye.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
