Patient's question:
A 12-year-old child hit their eye with a smartphone last night. They went to the hospital yesterday for a thorough examination and were told everything was fine. They have already swollen yesterday, besides bruising, and have been using ice. Should they still use ice today?Doctor's answer:
It's best to go to the ophthalmology hospital again today for a check-up. You can have a CT scan of the orbit to check if there's any bone fracture in the orbit. It's recommended that you first have a thorough examination to see if there are any problems in the orbit or around the eyelids. You should also have your intraocular pressure checked carefully. If there's no problem, you can still apply cold compresses! The above advice is for the question "A 12-year-old child hit their eye with a smartphone last night." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
