Is Bruised And Swollen Area Around The Knee Cap Post An Injury A Concern?
My daughter was running through the house and cracked her knee on the coffee table it bruised up pretty fast I put ice on it now it has a goose egg bump and it s right above the knee cap.. I have her knee elevated and gave her ibuprofen and ice on it.. my question is should I take her in for an x-ray? And is there anything else I can do for her?

Hello,
It could be a contusion.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
As of now you can apply ice packs for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
