my 12 yr old son fell and took a pretty good it on his left shin about a month ago. It never bruised, but he did have nice cut where he hit it on the bench of a picnic table and full speed. He has a pretty good sized bump still on his shin. What do I do?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your son have got injury to his shin with swelling.I think it will gradually reduce itself. You should advise him to do excercises. He should keep your limb elevated on pillow to reduce swelling. He can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C will help in recovery. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
