Hi my son hit his leg last week. It was really sore and he complained when I would wash his leg but the bruise wasn t even that bad. Now it s a week later and the area is still sensitive and he has developed a hard lump. I am concerned because the lump was not there before. Should I take him to the doctor?
Hello sir... I'm Chat Doctor. . Yes you should take him to the doctor immediately... get a tetanus toxic injection first ABD take a X-ray of the leg. Reasons 1) could have attained a hairline fracture 2) a foreign body like a splinter or dirt could have entered inside and that could have caused an infection lead to an access formation. So get a doctor to see him first and get it evaluated immediately. Hope this information was helpful. Thank you
