Answers:
He'll probably be OK, but you might want to take him just to be safe!. concussion can kick in within about 24 hours, so you might want to check him during the night to make sure he's ok!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If he's had an ice pack on it that whole time and it's still the size of an egg, I'd definitely have it checked!. That's a pretty big swelling and it would be a lot larger if not for the ice!.

The purple isn't significant but the size is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well since it is his head, YES you should take him to the hospital!. EVEN if it may be nothing, wouldn't you rather have the peace of mind knowing!? PEOPLE!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should , it least he will be checked , and may be a CT scan of the head needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
