My 24 month old son fell down stairs in a playground last Sunday and hit his head. We went to emergency department and he was observed for 4 hours with no signs of too much damage. Had a nice bump and bruise on his forehead. However after about 2 days I started to notice bruising on the sides of his nose, in between the eyes. This bruising has been getting darker over the last 5 days. Should I be concerned about this?
Hello dear. The condition you described is subcutaneous bleed after trauma and the bruise was spreading and getting darker because soft tissue is much more in that area compared to other parts of the body, so it spreads. Dnt worry it will settle in a week. It takes more time for healing as well. You can do cold compresses like placing an ice cube over it for some time to prevent its further spread. Hope it will help. Stay blessed
