Black eye: anything I should do?

[KatieRabbit]

DD fell on the corner of the coffee table some time back and earned a black eye but we didn't do anything. The only thing that bothered me (other than rude comments from strangers or 'jokes') was that it took ages to go away- like weeks! But it was nothing compared to the cut on the eylid of the other eye she got a few weeks later from the same coffee table- she still has the scar despite a GP visit and butterfly stitches. So there's really not much one can do about bruising- other than giving arnica homeopathics??

Oh my- looks like we are stuck with a bruised boy for a while!

Sorry to hear about your little girl's cut eye!

there is some bruise cream u can get from the chemist. Not sure if hes allowed to use it tho??? i got some after i had Mia from a doc trying to take blood while i was contracting. needless to say, i pulled away (as u dont have much control over your body) and left a huge black bruise. using this stuff, went about in about 5 days. And it was black.. i mean black.

either that.. or... do nothing. Personally i would just leave it, unless he is REALLY bothered by it. If he is.. mayb just get it checked out by his GP? or on a sunday.. the ed.
