quick one!! Bit of a put my mind at rest jobby

[firewatch]

titch has just woken up with a large new bruise knee half way done to ankle on her right lower leg. It feels like theres a lump under it and its very very tender to touch. Any ideas???I know shes been in the garden today but didnt hear see her fall over :(

[anneasquith]

are you asking if we have any idea how she got the bruise ?

[firewatch]

no just wondering what lump under the bruise was

[welshlibranr]

would get it checked out firewatch, maybe it wasn't so painful when she hurt it, and now she's relaxed it's giving her pain!......

[firewatch]

she seems ok apart from her leg but she keep holding it :s

[ChuckFickens]

It's a bruise!

If everything is still straight and is movable then..... it's a bruise!

[welshlibranr]

the lump is probably related to the bruise firewatch, it's bleeding under the skin, must be painful if she keeps holding it!........get it checked out, maybe give her some Calpol until morning, but if she's very distressed then get her to E&A asap!........

[nungate]

Put a cold compress on it to help take the bruising down and a little calpol for the pain. If she's still complaining about it in the morning give NHS direct a call in the morning for some advice.

"she seems ok apart from her leg but she keep holding it :s"

Then it's probably sore firewatch, didn't you notice that she was hurt when she came in from the garden?

[firewatch]

cheers guys, shes had some calpol and sat in with her at the mo after last night polava shes not leaving the cot!

[haysi06]

calpol for a bruised leg? I thought calpol was to bring temperature's down.

[anneasquith]

what happened last night, ?

[firewatch]

its a painkiller to cant find the ibruprofen, think it fell out in the car

[haysi06]

Hi Firewatch, sorry, I googled calpol just after I posted that. I thought it was to bring temps down. Hope titch isn't too distressed as a large bruise for no reaso sounds very worrying to me.

[firewatch]

calpol perked her up lol, its only the one bruise i can see but im sure it wasnt there at bath time, unless the bubbles where hiding it!

[welshlibranr]

good firewatch, hope she settles soon, If she's no better in the morning then please take her to A&E!.......

[haysi06]

Think calpol perks up because of the sugar content. Anyways, hope everythings ok but I'd suggest taking 'titch' to see a doc.

[firewatch]

oh i will im perched on the spare bed and her foot fetish is in full swing shes trying to get my toes!!!Calpol to the rescue, plus at my out laws tomorrow mother can have a butchers shes raised 4 boys so knows bruises pretty well!

[haysi06]

Foot fetish??

[welshlibranr]

sure she'll be fine firewatch, kids bounce back don't they? but play it safe, and if she's still got a problem in the morning, get her checked out, just to be sure!.......hope she sleeps well!........

[ummmm]

A&E? For a bruise? On a toddler?

Maaaaan....that's drastic!
