    There’s not any treatment needed. You can use use to help with swelling or pain and try Arnica ointment (over the counter herbal cream for bruises and it’s works okay) but doing nothing is fine too. The body takes care of bruises without any treatment.

    Once you're past the age where you get a kiss from mommy to make it all better the treatment for a bruise is usually limited to sucking it up.
