DS(7) hit the top of his foot very hard last night (trying to bash his brother so his own fault!). He had a bruise and some swelling (where he hit it) to the top of his foot last night. Today a small bruised area but he has a lump and will not put shoes on without complaining (can walk but with a limp with shoes on, but walking ok with occasional moaning without shoes).
Tonight it clearly aches a bit but looks ok, not swollen and bruise is localised.
My instinct is its ok, just bruised but grandparents think it ought to be looked at, so now feeling like a neglectful mum!
Thoughts? Thank you!
