How Serious Could A Bruised Abdomen With Pain After A Fall Be?
My son fell off his bike yesterday at my inlaws and today has been complaining that his lower left abdomen hurts after looking at his side he has a bruise from where it looks like his handle bar hit. Should I take him to his dr could he have punctured anything or is it just a bruise? He is 2 1/2 years old.

Internal bleeding is dangerous ,sometimes costs life.
