Suggest Treatment For Swollen Red Area On Temple Region Post Injury

Hello my nephew who is two just hit his head on his temple while playing. He hit the corner of a table and its swollen and red/purple with a cut on it . Bleeding but only for a few seconds. Its been about 20 minutes and he is still hurting but playing some still. Should we still go to the hospital? We put medicine on it and bandaid stitches.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen red area over the temporal region can be because of the hematoma secondary to trauma. It can be secondary to a secondary to a fractured zygomatic arch also. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done like submentovertex view and PNS view to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can give a antiinflamatory with analgesic like serratiopeptidase and diclofenac(if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
