Upper abdomen swelling after injury
Had a direct hit to my left upper abdomen about 8 months ago. At that time, I experienced severe pain at the site. and the pain gradually reduced over time.
After some months, I noticed a small swelling at the same site. Currently, there is only swelling, with no pain, no redness, no fever, and no increase in size.
I visited a local doctor and underwent an ultrasound scan.
My concerns are:
Is this condition serious?
Will the swelling reduce or go away with time?
Do I need any treatment or repeat scan?
Is observation and follow-up sufficient?
