What Is The Treatment For A Green Swollen Bruise In A Child?
My child is 4 yo hit cheek area yesterday on a table there is a green bruise and it s still noticeably swollen. I applied ice and I will start warm packs tmrw and giving ibuprofen po q 6 hrs for pain and slight low grade fever . I checked the teeth and inside of the mouth everything intact, just want to know if I should still be concerned about the swelling because it s on the face?
Hi...you have done everything perfectly well. You need not be concerned about this. It will settle in a matter to 1-2 weeks. Do not worry. It is just a hematoma and will get absorbed by itself. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
