My 4 year old son fell over at nursery on Friday afternoon. He was picked up from nursery and was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary other than the huge lump/bruise/scratch on his forehead. It really was quite large. However, he has had bigger lumps than this in the past and when we took him to hospital we were told that he was fine. They seemed uninterested in the lump and more interested in symptoms of concussion, of which there were none.
However, the initial lump is now less swollen, but his eyes are becoming more swollen. The eye underneath the lump is a bit closed because of the swelling, and the area between his eyes has also become swollen, so both eyes are affected. Again, his behaviour is still normal and he only seems to experience pain when he touches the bruise.
Should I be concerned or is this normal? The nursery did recommend that I take him to hospital, but I didn't think it was necessary because he seemed absolutely fine. I'm now wondering whether that was the best choice.
