My daughter hit her ankle the other day and the bruise is large and hard today it looks like it dropped down her ankle. Like it bled down to her foot on the inside. A long thin bruise as well now. Should I take her in. She isn t in pain only when you touch it
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Swollen and bruised ankle might be due to hematoma formation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
