Child Having A Small Red Patch In The Area Of Injured Foot. Broken Or Bruised?
My daughter hurt her foot on Sunday. She was at a friend s house and stepped on something or stepped on her foot wrong. She s not sure. She s 9. She wasn t sure where the pain was originally but then realized it was hurting her on the outside middle of her foot. Today there is a small red patch in that area. I have no idea if it is broken or just bruised or ???

hi
in both the ways of mode of injury it can be a bruise or a fracture. finally to be decided by an x ray
I advise you to go for an x ray to detect a fracture .If no fracture in X ray then it is a bruise. Pl see whether the injury is there or not. If no fracture and not sure history of injury, do not forget to see about arthritis of foot . Some of blood test are to be done

hi,
It may be Sprain ,Soft tissue injury or Fracture.
So, if swelling & tenderness present at foot, You have to visit Orthopedic surgeon for clinical examination & X-ray of foot.
Meanwhile if swelling is more , give some splintage to the foot & anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen.
