Can being hit in the stomach cause damage to the band? Or, swelling?

My three year old head butted me HARD in the middle of my chest/tummy this evening and now drinking liquids feels restricted.

He hit going upward from a running jump- just under my ribs- while I was in a recliner. I am very sore on the outside, but wonder if I could be swollen or injured on the inside.

It's possible, since I just recently read about someone having a slip during a canoeing trip in Hawaii.

You probably should get checked out if your symptoms don't resolve soon. Do you have a local surgeon you can contact on Monday? Just in case?

Yes, I can call the doctor on Monday. It is really weird. I feel swollen inside and out, and it hurt to even try to swallow milk. Have not taken my meds this morning because I am afraid...
