HIV In Children  ISSN 0973 - 0958  Bruise (pronounced at brew -
Z) is collection of blood underneath the skin. It is a wound in
which the skin the does not break (as in a cut) but due to the
injury, the blood vessels underneath the skin tear and blood
collects forming a bruise. Initially the bruise appears shiny
and red but it later changes color to black, blue, green, yellow
and finally fades away. This change in color is because the
blood slowly disintegrates and finally disappears and is due to
change in the pigment of the blood called &quot;bilirubin.&quot;
Well, fever is simply rise in body temperature. Normally our
body temperature is usually around 98.6 degree Fahrenheit or 37
degree Celsius. Some people have body temperature slightly more
or less than the above values.  What should I do if I get a
bruise? If you get hurt and your body part hurts and swells up,
immediately apply ice. The ice narrows the torn blood vessels
and will lessen the swelling. There will be less pain as there
is less bleeding.
