12 yr old daughter got pinched between horse and gate. Has bruising on right forearm that is warm to the touch. Can move fingers, wrist, elbow, raise arm. Only tender on the bruise. Can apply pressure to opposite side of arm from bruise. Is it normal for the bruise to be warm to the touch?

Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence
Yes bruise can lead to increased temp.
Do ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help and give rest to elbow and forearm.
You can apply crepe bandage for support.
X ray may be required to see bony injury.

Though there is no fracture but due to trauma there can be soft tissue injury ,if there is huge swelling supportive slab can be given.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
