Suggest Remedy For Red, Painful Lumps On Leg Post A Fall

I fell down the stairs on saturday, and along with a lump on my fore head, my leg is in a lot of pain. It swelled to quite a size, so I put on a compression bandage, now the swelling has gone down, I can see two red lumps on my leg, which are painful. They look more like bites than bruises as they are raised

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The bumps seem to be related to the injury during the fall. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. The bumps will relieve gradually.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
