My ds fell and bumped his head at nursery on Wednesday. He had a cut on his forehead and a lump and bruise. No stitches. Nursery cleaned it and put cold compress on for an hour and monitored him. We monitored for Concussion overnight. He was a bit out of sorts the next day and his lump swelled a bit. He was sick once but after coughing and drinking a big water too quickly. The next morning his swelling had got bigger again and covered most his forehead and bridge of nose so I took him to minor injuries who diagnosed a wound infection and gave antibiotics. He has had one days worth of these. Late in the evening his wound started weeping so definitely infected.
He slept in with me last night as was unhappy and woke up at 4 and was sick all over the bed and has been really irritable since. His whole face is puffy today and the skin between his nose and eyes is red (not rash just looks inflamed).
He looks a mess and is clearly unhappy. Just wanted to check if anyone knows anything else I can do to help him? He has infection but is being sick normal? Guess in my sleep deprived state I am worried there is no improvement and wondering if his medicine is not agreeing with him.
Any reassurance people can give would be great or maybe guidance on when to take him back to the doctors.
Thank you
