Hi, I discovered a bruise on the stomach/side of my nine year old sister s stomach, about less than an inch above her hip bone. She d complained about pain there. So when I applied pressure to it, I felt a lump under it. Is this normal for an injury?
Dear Sibling, Your sister needs to be seen by a pediatrician for a clinical examination, to find the cause of the bruise and to rule out any active bleeding in the abdomen. I suggest that your see a pediatrician ASAP.
