"My son's eye is purple on top. What should I do about this?"

If your son's eye is swollen and purple due to trauma, you can apply cold or warm compresses three times a day for 15 minutes to reduce inflammation. The purple color should heal over time, which can take 1 to 3 weeks. It's important to make sure there was no damage to the eye by watching for symptoms such as pain, sensitivity to light, or changes in vision. If the discoloration is not related to trauma, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
