What Could Lumps And Bruises Hip Bone Suggest?

my son got a bruise on his hip bone last fri. it was very blue then purple...a few days later a white pea sized lump appeared. the bruise is now a week old and is brown but the center where the lump is is white. the nite I noticed it he had been vomiting but no fever...the next few days he had flu symptoms so I went to er and they said it was a virus. I didnt think to mention the bruise but now im concerned because of the lump.

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

I think you should have mentioned about the bruise with the central white discolouration in that. With the history of fever, this could be an abscess due to super added infection of the hematoma formed after the injury. Therefore, I would advise you to take your son to the ER for a review with a definite mention of the lump over the injured part. Till then, you could give him an anti pyretic and an anti emetic which might be available over the counter in your city.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
