Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. She is mostly having inflammatory swelling due to blunt abdominal trauma. Blunt abdominal trauma causes 1. Damage to Internal organs like intestine, stomach etc. 2. Injury to abdominal muscles. 3. Injury to skin, subcutaneous tissue and fat. She is mostly having muscular and subcutaneous tissue damage which is causing inflammatory reaction and appearance of swelling. But better to rule out internal organ damage. So get done ultrasound examination of abdomen first. If this is normal then no need to worry about this swelling. It will gradually resolve by its own in 1 month.
