What Causes Swelling And Lump On A Bruised Chin?
My 5 year old and I was on a intertube and My knee hit his chin a week ago. It is swollen still and has a hard lump/knot on the part that is slightly still bruised. What should I do? Could he broke a bone and me not known since he isn t complaining except when he hits it?!

The possibility is that he might have developed a bruise due to the injury.It is unlikely to be a fracture as fractures are generally very painful. Nevertheless you must consult your doctor immediately to rule out any soft tissue or bone injury.Cold compresses might provide symptomatic relief. Regards
