Hi My child suffered an injury to the front of his shin when another child stamped on his shin with the edge of his shoe. My child s shin was bruised and inflamed, but now six weeks on there is still diagonal dent about 5mm deep and 50mm long. should I be worried and will it disappear, he has been to the doctor who said it was not broken.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about this. Since it is not broken, it will gradually heal by itself. He is mostly not having symptoms also. So nothing should be done. Let this heal by itself. Ask him to take high calcium diet like milk, protein powder, banana, vegetables etc. Calcium is needed for rapid healing. Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
