Our son has a bump on his forehead. There's not scratch, just a bruise. Any remedies to treat the bruise which doesn't hurt?

There are three things you need to do when your child gets a bruise. 1. Apply Ice Place some ice cubes in a washcloth or an ice pack and hold it against the bruise for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat, not more than once an hour. 2. Elevate Area Elevate the site of bruise to above heart level to reduce swelling. 3. Reduce pain Only use infant or toddler formulated Tyenol and never use aspirin. As your child is not in pain, you can skip this step. http://www.webmd.com/first-aid/treating-bruises-in-children
