Suggest Remedy For A Bruise In The Eyebrow Caused By Hitting
My 3 yr old son bumped his head on his crib ,he bruised his left eyebrow and his eyelid,he bruised his eyebrow slightly and when you fill his eyebrow bone it feels like it is dented. He slept well but woke up with a swelling where he was hit and his eye is swollen as well.Today is the third day and swelling seems larger and the eyelid is turning black what should i do?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having bruise in the eye following injury.
This is because of collection of blood in the layers of skin of eyelids as a result of injury.
This is a self limiting condition and no need to worry and this will resolve over 2-3 weeks slowly.
If there are no vision problems then no need to worry.
Applying cold compression provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
