Suggest Treatment For Dark Bruise On Lower Abdomen Post Injury From A Fall
Hi my 6 yr old son fell on his bike and the handlebar of the bike hit his stomach on the lower left side and he only had a scratch the first day. The second day I noticed he had a huge bruise that is really dark. I m concerned and feel anxious for him it just really looks bad.
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to the injury. I suggest giving him Tylenol to reduce the swelling. I also recommend using cold compresses for local application. I suggest using a vitamin K cream. The bruise will go away gradually.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
