Just hoping for a bit of advise or reassurance if anyone else has been in a similar situation. Basically DD, who is 2.4yrs, decided to flip herself off the sofa and landed flat on her face on the floor. She had a massive bump to the head which looked huge and scary, we managed to reduce the swelling a lot by using a cold compress and after she had calmed down she seemed to be back to normal. It is only today, 3 days later, that we've noticed she's suddenly got two dark shadows around her inner eyes which is concerning us a little. I've read it could be associated with an allergic reaction which may be true as she has eczema which comes and goes but she's never had this as well. Or DH said it could be the bruising from the bump she had moving down from her forehead which I'm also not too sure about, never heard of bruises moving as such. Anyone got any ideas ?
