How To Treat Tender Skin On The Stomach And Gas After A Bruise?
I m a teacher and a child threw a hard covered book at me yesterday, today I discovered a bruise on my stomach to the left of my belly button. My entire left side is extremely tender and I seem to be very gassy for no reason. Should I go see a doctor or do you think it s just a superficial injury?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history and understood your concerns.
The book hit from a distance can cause internal injuries too as the body is not ready every time to
Resist.
I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Watch for any urinary and intestinal symptoms, color of sttol and urine.
CT scan to see the extent of superficial and deep injury and plan for further investigations and treatment as per the findings.
