My 11 year old son fell at school today and has a large bump and bruise above his right eye. It is quite swollen; he cannot open his eye all the way. I am assuming this is not a big deal. However, he has a painful, small lump on the back of his neck, which I am worried about. Could this be related to the head injury? He says the lump is tender to the touch.
Hi 1st of i would like to tell you about the eye part, as described by you the sweeping and bruise on the eye is not to be taken light, u must see an eye surgeon soon as it could be an infection. And if I take both of them into account there could be because of some trauma caused by either some hitting on your child and yes the lump could be related to head injury. You need to give some anti-inflammatory medicine like broken to reduce the pain and swelling.
