Is Medical Attention Required If A Toddler Walks With A Limp?

Our 17 month old grand daughter suddenly started walking like there was something in her foot like a briar or a splinter. She was lifting her leg in an exgaerated manner and stumbled and fell. We thought maybe her foot was asleep so I rubbed it and that seemed to help, but she did it again but not as bad. My wife wants to wait till morning and see what happens.
