Is Splint The Right Treatment For Broken Finger In A Child?
Should I take my 10 year old to a specialist to make sure her broken middle finger is healing okay. The emergency doctors said it broke under the knuckle area and they put her finger in a splint. it s been three weeks and the finger seems to be healing but she still is saying that its a little sore.
HI Well come to HCM If this is fracture then it may take at least 3 to 4 weeks till then pain would be there healing is the process and this take some time but this is nothing to worry later or sooner it will be healed, and no need to worry about this, take care and have a nice day.
