Is A Small And Red Bump At The Site Of Injury A Cause For Concern?

May be a soft tissue injury
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read the question and understand your concern.
It is most likely that your son has a soft tissue injury. A soft tissue injury is one that occurs due to damage to the soft tissues in the area. These are the muscles and the tissues.
The swelling will start to go down after a while and you can ice it for 15 minutes every hour several times a day to help reduce the swelling.
If your son lost consciousness at all, then you should take him to the Emergency Room right away. Also, take him to the Emergency Room if he gets a fever or if he loses consciousness.
I hope this has answered your query. Please post a follow up if you have more questions.
All the best.


Better to get checked up
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for the follow up
I thought there was a swelling and a bump. Having a soft area that goes in can be several things. It would be a good idea to see a doctor to confirm what it is exactly.
All the best and I wish your son a quick recovery.
