My 1 year old daughter hit herself on the table nearby her left eye.  I tried to put an ice pack immediately on the bruised area.  After an hour or so, I did not see anything then.  I put a hot pack during the night time too, in order to soothe her eye.  But after two days, I saw bruises under her left eye, not the place where she was actually hit.  What should I do now?  She looks okay healthwise.  She is playing and acting as nothing has happened.  But the bruise under her left eye is bothering me.  Please help me.

It's unlikely that its cancer. More likely that his anemia has made him bruise easily and that the bruising is due to the coughing.

It's not likely serious but why not call your pediatrician today or tomorrow, it will make you feel better.
