[|Human|] my daughter received a laceration to her eyebrow as a result of an extremely severe hit while playing softball. she went to the er and had to have 11 stiches to her eyebrow and is now in a lot of pain. she was not sent home with any pain medication and is now complaining of a severe pain at the site and a headache. she has been taking otc motrin as prescribed and she is 15 years old. is there anything that her pcp can prescribe her to help her with the pain or is there something that I can do for her to help with the pain at home?
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint and presentation of symptoms as your daughter is not prescribed with any pain medication after placement of stitches, you need not worry as she can take Motrin for pain relief. You can also apply a numbing gel containing Lidocaine over the stitches for numbing the area and causing relief from pain and discomfort. In case if the pain still does not subside consult your treating doctor and get evaluated for any activation of infection in the area of stitches and get treated accordingly. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
