Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my mother fell down on her chin a few days ago, she had a scratch on her nose. Next day her chin turned black and blue but each day her chin seems to get better but my mom still worries that maybe she should have seen a doctor after the fall. Should she?

Thank you for the question. I hope she is much better now. I suggest you to meet a doctor if you feel pain is worsening or persisting at the chin after the fall. The discolourations will disappear in a weeks time. After the fall the bruise takes time yo heal. I hope I have answered you. Take care and have a great day
