Can Ibuprofen For Right-sided Bruising And Swelling On Thigh After Injury?
I fell off a stool in the bathtub about 11 hours ago. I hit my head and right side thigh. Both are bruised and swollen. I have a bump on my forehead and a large swollen bruise on my side. I iced both areas a couple of times. I am able to do everything and don t have any other symptoms except for feeling sore. Should I just continue to ice the bruises and rest? Okay to take ibuprofen?
