What To Do If Child Got Punched Under The Eye And It Hurts When Touched?

my 10 yr old was wrestling with his brother and got punched in the face under his eye. There is no swelling or apparent bruising yet but it is tender to the touch, I have had him move his eye all around and he can with no problems and he isnt complaining of it unless it is touched. Should I be overly concerned about broken bones or what do I need to look out for

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand this if the injury is bad and gives immediate swelling then this need to be seen clinically, in such case the possibility of fracture is likely, better to consult the surgeon, hope this information helps you have good day.
