12 yr old boy chest pn w/ red and brused
My son, age 12, fell off of his bike. He hit his chest under his nipple area. Earlier it was just red, but now he is complaining of pain and discomfort. Now that I look at the area it is a darker red and brusing. Is it possible for his rib to be fractured or broken?
