Suggest Remedy For Arm Pain Caused By Jumping
Hi! My four year old daughter broke her arm jumping on the trampoline on Tuesday evening. It was confirmed that she broke her left arm (proximal ulna) and a full cast was placed on her arm yesterday. She is still crying and complaining that her arm hurts and that her cast hurts in the forearm/wrist area. Is this normal or does it sound like the cast may be too tight?

Hello,
A little bit of pain may persist even if the cast is applied. You should give Ibuprofen syrup 15 milligrams per kg to two children three times a day for two days. Repeat x-rays should be done to see whether the cast is applied perfectly or not continue giving ibuprofen and get your child examined by orthopedician doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Deepak Patel
