Hi my son was lifted from the seat in a school bus and suffered a huge blow to his forehead and face, he spent a few hours n hospital under observation then sent home.It is 2 days later and he is still having severe headaches  and eyes are swollen almost close and stiff neck- Should I be worried ?
Hi. Looks like your son has only soft tissue injury with no brain injury. Cause for the pain and swelling:- soft tissue will heal be itself but during the course there will be minimal pain.-post trauma normally there will be edema, fluid collection at that site due to early response by the body to injury and due to gravity the fluid normally gets collected more over the lower eyelids (ecchymosis) in case of head injury which will get absorbed over time.  Things to do:1)Bed rest, HY Chat Doctor. 2)Take painkillers as advised by the pediatrician as it has dose as to be calculated and given as per body weight.3)He can b given serriopeptidase to reduce the swelling.4)Cold compression will help.5) if headache is persisting and any sins of head injury (loss of consciousness, vomiting, giddiness, seizures) occur report to the hospital immediately.
