If there is a would, wash with warm water and tea tree oil to disinfect. For the bruise, initial treatment should be an ice pack. After that, you can rub Arnica oil into the bruise to ease the pain and help it heal faster.
If there is additional pain, you can give your child white willow bark in a capsule as a natural alternative to tylenol or something like that. It is much better for them and there are lesser side effects. Arnica treatment should be several times daily and should be continued until the bruise is gone.
After the initial cold treatment, you can do daily hot/cold therapy which involves the use of hot and cold compresses alternating 5 minutes each between the two. After this phase, you can go directly to a warm, wet cloth placed on the bruise for 15 or 20 minutes daily. A warm cloth is sure to avoid the pouting that will most likely accompany the cold compress! Bruises are no fun for anyone, especially not a child. A hug and kiss from Mom or Dad helps a lot in making things all better and making them forget about the pain.
