Child Has Bruise After Fall, Hard Lump On Jaw. Due To Chipped Bone?
My 18 month old daughter fell about 3 weeks ago and hit a treadmill screw that punctured her skin on the jaw line. She cried for about 10 minutes and seemed fine. There is a small bruise present, but now when I feel her jaw on that side there is a very hard small lump. She isn t experiencing any discomfort. Could she have chipped a piece of bone?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
As your hurt her jaw and now having hard lump over it. Broken bones are usually very painful. Hitting a flat bones usually present hard lump. Icing can reduce swelling. You may use acetaminophen or naproxen. You can get Xray of her jaw to rule out any fracture.
Hope it helps.
Take Care!
