Hi,
I understand your concern.
* A hit on bone in pregnancy also needs same care & treatment as in normal person.
- Get her examined by an Orthopedic doctor. Get her X ray done to exclude/ confirm fracture.Get her plastered / medication as per doctor's advise.
* - It seems there is open wound- for which you need antibiotic ointment.Even wound/ abrasion needs methodical/sufficient treatment in pregnancy.Take doctor's advise/ get the wound regularly dressed if needed/ take oral antibiotics,other medicines as per doctor's advise/ Injection TT if taken in 7th month, need not be repeated.
* A prompt treatment & timely healing helps for a less stressful delivery.
Thanks.
