What Causes Red And Bruised Chin In A Baby?
My daughter is 23 months and fell and hit her chin. Bit tongue pretty hard and chin is red and bruised. Applied ice and gave her Tylenol. She fell asleep, but is still in pain because she is waking up crying every so often. Do I need to take her to the dr?

The hit that she took will hurt her for some time . Give her TYLENOL thrice daily for two days and also observe the area. If the area becomes normal and pain also goes away it needs nothing. But if the swelling continues to increase or pain persist after 2 days , a Xray has to be done and doctor consultation is required.
