Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I would like an answer to a previous question I found on here... My child has same symptoms. Swollen ankle with bruises one day... Then next night opposite foot and ankle swollen with bruising ans red spots and the other ankle is fine now. What could this
If your child is active, and likes sport, the bruising is due to trauma he might have experienced during playing. Ankle is the most vulnerable place to get this trauma especially if he likes football.
Now, everytime you notice the bruising, apply cold compresses to prevent further problems.
If you are still worried, can run a complete blood count, ERS tests to see if there is anything wrong in his blood.
Hope this helps. Dr.Albana Sejdini General&Family Physician
