My daughter is 4 years old and she was riding her bike inside the house she hit the wall and when she went forward the bar Handelof the bike then hit her upper right chest and now it seems to be bruising and has a bump which is now getting bigger. What should I do?
Hi.based from your description, the lump could be secondary to the trauma she recently had. It could only be an inflammatory reaction, wherein swelling ensues and will subside eventually in a few days time. Fibrous tissue formation may also be occurring especially on the area that was injured, hence the appearance of the bump. A consult with her doctor is best for clinical evaluation. Observation and analgesics may be given for now. If the signs and symptoms persist for more than a week, diagnostics (such as X-ray) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
