Suggest Treatment For A Bump On The Knuckle Post Injury
My son (10 years old) was trying to hold in to a ball that his sister (12 years old) was trying to snatch back and while they holding the ball my son lost his grip on the ball and bang his hand very hard on a bottle of perfume, know he has bump in his middle knuckle and is bruise. Is it broken or it is just bruise?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a bruise due to the injury.
I suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest to use cold compresses at the area of the bruise.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to do an x ray.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
