My daughter who is 12 hit her shin pretty good 2 days ago on the stairs. There a big bruise and a little swelling but a huge dent in her shin. Any worries? Do I take her to dr to get checked out? Shes complaining of soreness but is able to walk on it.
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Injury near shin usually have sharp pain with bruises left. If she has a serious injury she might not walk.swelling is probably due to soft tissue injury. Go for ibuprofen to relive pain.it will minimum 7 days to resolve the soreness. Take prolific citrate to reduce swelling and yes it's always better to have a consultation from a physician and also an x-ray to relieve yours and daughter anxiety Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.  Chat Doctor.
