Hit In Breast By Football, Bruising, Hurts. What Can Be Done?
My 15 year old daughter was hit in her breast today while playing softball. It is really starting to bruise pretty good, I know this is t be expected however I just want to make sure I should not be worried about some kind of damage that could of been done. she says it still hurt almost as bad as when she was hit. She I be watching for anything significant with this type of injury? Its only been a couple of hours since this happened.

Hi,
It seems that due to hard hit in her breast there might be having soft tissue injury or some hematoma ie blood collection.
Nothing to worry, observe for having more swelling or throbing pain in the breast which indicates infection.
If this is the case then consult your doctor and get examined.
Do ice pack application daily 2-3 times.
Ok and take care.
