Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. My 23 yeaar old son has extensive sunburn and his forehead has swollen considerably. I am a nusrse so have been keening up with the fluids and cold packs but I feel he may need to go to the hospital. What could have caused this if not the sunburn? Thank you
I recommend using local packs and local ibuprofen ointment against inflammation. Oral ibuprofen can help too. If the swelling persists, I recommend going to the doctor for a physical evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
