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!.
