Please call 911 immediately if you are having chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, sudden weakness or numbness, or if you think you have a medical emergency.
Bruises are not very common in infants. They're more common on the lower legs and foreheads of toddlers just learning to walk.
Wrap a cold pack in a towel or washcloth and hold it against the bruise for 10 to 15 minutes.
Repeat, but no more than once an hour.
Do not hold ice or anything frozen directly against a child's skin.
