And he has like a cut in the middle of the bump.


Answers:

swelling is a natural result of trauma, so having that swelling is a natural thing. Of course it would make the eye opening appear smaller, it is. The severity of the swelling is in direct relation to the severity of the trauma and ice will help with time but it could take considerable time. As long as he can see with the affected eye, it's probably ok. I would continue applying ice for twenty minutes every hour for the rest of the day at least. It may also help to take 400 mg of Ibuprofen for the discomfort and to assist in managing the swelling.
