Is Bruise And Lump On Lower Abdomen Of A Toddler Post A Fall A Cause For Concern?
Hi my 2 year old fell today in the garden and banged her ear and not sure if she banged anywhere else but tonight I have noticed a bruise on her lower stomach with a small pea sized lump under it, doesn t seem too bothered by it but should I visit my gp tomorrow to get it checked?
The bruise over abdomen wall and tiny lump underneath the same indicates possible issue of hematoma effect. As the child is playing with no other symptoms, it is not matter of worry at present to visit his GP. However, following guidelines help for better recovery: - Local application of ice - Sterile saline dressing - Neosporin skin ointment application - Regular watch for the regression of lump and bruise recovery - Avoid scratching or strainful trauma over the area
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
