How To Treat Shin Bone Injury In A 4 Years Old Child?

I have a 4 year old girl who fell on her shin bone and it raised up and made a bruise and not under skin. She now has a hard knot under skin that feels like bone but its circular and size of pea. She fell two weeks ago and doesn't act like anything bothers her. What could this be and should I be worried?

Hi. It might be small blood clot. If its same size, not painful and gradually coming down, nothing needs to be done. If it's increasing size, becomes painful or she has fever, you must consult a doctor.
