General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Pain in the face and neck that she is experiencing is likely to be from the trauma. Apply ice to the bruised painful areas. Feed her liquid diet using a straw so that she does not have to open mouth too much or chew until the pain subsides. Make sure that she stays hydrated. Tylenol or Ibuprofen can be given to managing pain. The dosage of these medication depends on the age and weight of the child. Please be advised to follow up with her paediatrician to undergo a physical examination, rule out underlying fracture and to calculate the appropriate dose of Tylenol/Ibuprofen needed for your toddler.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
