advice needed: LO hit head and has swollen ear

LO was climbing and fell and hit is head on the side of my bed. At first I didn't see any bruises or marks or anything but now his ear is swelling up and has a bruise on it. He is acting fine and his pupils are the same size. It's only a little red behind his ear.

I'm just worried there is more damage than I can see. Does anybody have any  experience with this? I've been putting ice on it as long as he sits still. please and thank you for your advice!!

Re: advice needed: LO hit head and has swollen ear

  • DS2 fell and hit the coffee table when he was a little younger. He hit his ear pretty bad and it was bruised for about a week. Is it his actual ear that is bruised (not his head around the ear?) ? If so, I wouldn't worry. The DR told us when DS fell that ears bruise very easily and to just keep ice on it if he would allow it. GL. Obviously if he has any other signs of concussion (sleepiness, vomiting, he's very fussy ect.) call the dr.
