My son had stitches and his eyelid is very swollen?

Question

Hello, my 11 year old son had 3 stitches 2 days ago on his eyebrow and his eyelid is swelling more and more. Should I be worried? Thank you for your answer, unfortunately we had to go back to the emergency room today because his eye is more and more swollen, they put him on antibiotics and if Thursday it has not swollen I have to go back. It is really impressive

Hello Mrs A little swelling is normal following an injury. However, if the swelling increases, or if other symptoms occur such as redness or pain that gets worse, or fever, you will have to be re-consulted without delay. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist You did the right thing by re-consulting, periorbital cellulitis can have serious consequences on the eye! I am reassured that it has been taken care of :)
