Question
A 12-year-old child had their eye hit by a phone last night. They went to the hospital for a thorough check-up last night and were told everything was fine. Their eye swelled up, and there were bruises. They applied ice packs. Should they continue to use ice packs today?
Answer
It’s best to go to the ophthalmology department for another check-up today. An orbital CT scan can be done to check for any fractures in the orbital bones. I suggest you get a detailed examination to see if there are any issues with the orbital or eyelid area. An eye pressure check is also necessary. Even if there’s no problem, applying ice packs is fine! These are the recommendations for the question ‘A 12-year-old child had their eye hit by a phone last night.’ I hope this helps and wish you good health!
