Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Eyes In A Child
My son , 3 1/2 fell straight backward this morning, 9 am, and almost immediately his eye was swollen. He started complaining that his head hurt around 5pm. Eyebrows it praised i have him some infant ibuprofen (what i had on hand) and he said it felt better. He also said it hurts when he jumps. Should i take him in tonight, tomorrow or see what he is like in the morning? Thank you
