Is Bump In The Center Of Chest After Being Kicked Serious ?
Hi. My 13 year old son was in pe wrestling and was kicked very hard in solar plexus in middle of chest. His chest was also sat on by a larger kid helping the first boy trying to pin my son. He had a red/bluish mark shortly after that is now totally gone. However, he has a noticeable bump on right side near center of chest. It has been approx 4 hrs and he just showed me. We are now icing it. He has no pain to the touch but hurts when he inhales deeply only. Should I take to er?

Hi dear thanks for the query on HCM
You need to take your child to a physician.
There may be injury to the ribs or muscle contusion
He will do a clinical examination and may suggest a chest xray pa/ ap view to see if any internal organ injury(lungs) or the musculoskeletal involvement.
Based on the above he needs treatment.
Better to take at the earliest.
Or else he may have a lump permanently in the region
Thank you
