Pediatrician,  's  Response
good day! Thank you for being with health care magic. Im sorry to hear that about your daughter. But i think it would be best to have an Xray done to be sure that theres no fracture. You can apply cold compress during the first 24 hours then warm compress thereafter to lessen the swelling. For now try to limit movement of the affected arm as well. Hope she'll feel better soon. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
