Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

It seems from the history that your 10 year old daughter is having bruising following a injury with a ball between the eyebrows and the nose.
You should look out for fracture of the underlying bone, bleeding from nose and injury to the eye.
If none of these are present the treatment of the condition is by cold compression and use of antiinflammatory drugs.

Thank you
