My two yr old jumped off the couch and hit her head hour before bedtime I kept a close eye on her gave ice pack delayed her goin to sleep behavior was normal no vomitin speech was fine.Went in la ter to check on her and notice a bruise on side of eye. Took her to er the did a cat scan and it came back ok.my concern is i can see a black eye and swellin is that normal
I understand your fears. AAS the Ct scan was normal there is no need for worry. The black eye you say is contusion and leaked blood and tissue fluid around the eyelid because the subcutaneous tissue is loosely packed here. It may take up to a week or slightly more to disappear. As the baby is otherwise normal, relax. My regards.
