Suggest Treatment For Eye Injury
My aunt happened to get punched in her eye last nite, & it was swollen shut this morning and looks like she might need a few stiches.. Her eyelid on the bottom is very red and swollen as well.. My question to you would be can she get a concussion? She very bull headed and is iffy about going to the er. Is their anything else i/we should be concerned about and if so what are the signs...

Hello
It seems from the history that your aunt suffered a eye injury following which she is having swollen and bruised eye.
If the vision is fine and the eye proper is not affected then no need to worry.
The swelling is because of hematoma as a result of collection of blood in the layers of skin of eyelids.
The treatment is by use of antiinflammatory drugs and cold compression.
Thank you
