Suggest Remedy For Sore Knot On Arm

my 10 year old son was shooting his bow and arrow when the arrow broke and slivers went into his arm. There is a knot now above one of the little holes like almost on the bone,and it is sore to touch and hurts even when taking his shirt off. This happened 4 days ago. It isn t red on the outside so there is no infection showing in it. Could there be something really wrong?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms of your child seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest giving him Tylenol for the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
The pain will relieve gradually.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
