Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having numbness following injury with a ball above the eye.
This indicates probable injury yo the supra orbital nerve.
This requires evaluation to rule out any fracture to the orbit.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
