What should we do next..?
Should we foment with hot water or ice?
Plz help
Hello observe for level of conciousness . Any change in consciousness level or if she vomits then take her to Hosp ASAP without delay. Tomorrow morning get a XRay skull done to rule out any fracture. Just leave the swelling the way it is and if increases then take her to hospital
