Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
I feel sorry for the kid. But don't get panic. Start the treatment and he will be alright.
Give him Infant Tylenol by mouth. Apply Triple Antibiotic Ointment available Over the counter. It will reduce swelling and pain of inflammation and will prevent infection at the site of the bruise.
Apply heat to soothe the baby. Keep a good diet and keep his fever checked regularly. If you feel something not under control, take the kid to the Pediatrician. Also make sure from the pediatrician if he has got all the vaccinations especially for tetanus.If not, go for a catch up vaccination.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
