Suggest Treatment For Back Injury In A 4 Years Old Child
Hi my 4 year old son fell from about 6 feet off a playground climbing frame he landed straight on his back. He cried straight away was in pain but carried on playing after though I could see his back was bothering him. Took him to the local minor injuries who said he looked ok but advised if I was worried go to a and e. This happened about 4pm he s now asleep he s been ok since minor injuries mentioned the pain afew times but nothing major should i go to a&e? Could he have done any internal damage? Thanks

dear caring father
if your son was able to play after fall I don't think there will be any serious injuries. but I would advise for xray of spine to rule out minor injuries. you can visit radiologist nearby your area and request for xray. ask him to take rest for at least 5 days for pain relief. apply ice packs to reduce inflammation locally.
