What Causes A Protruding Bone On The Right Side Of The Chin After An Injury?
Hi about a month ago my son fell and hit his chin. He had bruising dark purple/black now it's gone away. But just today I felt on the right side of his chin the bone is pointy.i believe it's his bone?He's not in pain and doesn't push me away when I press down on it. He's two years old. Should I be worried he fractured his bone??

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The protruding bone what you are feeling can be because of inflammatory swelling secondary to trauma or fractured bone.Nothing to be panic, consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
