Hi, my 7 year old tripped while getting out of a boat and fell onto his face onto the concrete (probably from a distance of 5 feet). His cheek is swollen, bruised, and sore to the touch. Should I have him evaluated to see if it is broken, or wait a few days?
Hellowelcome to ChatDoctorI appreciate your concerns. You need to evaluate if any bone is broken or not. Also give NSAID painkiller, CHYMORAL etc. Hope this will help you, Regards.
