Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. The type of bruising you describe is very common after this type of an injury. That she didn't lose consciousness is the most important thing. The bruise, though it may not look nice, will resolve on it's own and look good as new. It is not something you should worry about. The next sign to watch for is vomiting within the first 24 hours after the injury. As ling as this doesn't happen, there is no cause for concern.
