Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I calcluded that your grandson got car accident. He got ligament injury. You are worried about his leg is swollen and dark in upper part. Swelling can be reduced by elevation of leg on pillow during sleep. Avoid keeping leg dependent while sitting. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful for pain relief.Vitamin B and C help in recovery. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
