Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My 22 month old toddler has a nasty bruise on his right cheek, right next to his nose. The peditrician said there was no broken bones or teeth right after he fell. Now, after two weeks the blue coloring is gone but 5 days ago I noticed a solid-like lump where his bruise was. The lump is about 1.2cm wide but not very high but you can feel it and see it is there is you look at him closely. It has not increased in size during the last five days but it has also not decreased in size. Question
Hello, What you are observing is probably a healing hematoma which may resolve by itself by getting absorbed in due course. Nothing to worry about it at all. But as you have asked for - if there is increasing redness around the area or high-grade fever, then you need to seek medical attention as it is suggestive of secondary bacterial infection, please. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
