How To Treat A Swollen Bruise On The Shin?
Hi...last night we noticed what looked like a bruise on my 3 year old daughters left shin. She did not seem bothered by it. Tonight in the bath we noticed that the bruise has swollen and become hot and red. No rash, no fever and no complaints from our daughter all day. She is asleep now but not sure if I should take her to the doctor now or wait until the morning...what is your advise.
