Suggest Treatment For Leg Strain In A 2 Years Old Child

my 2 year old son is very active and last night i heard a yelp while i was doing dishes. dad was asleep on the couch and he said he got owies on his knee. a few minutes later he was walking fine but his leg just gave out. he doesn t seem to be copletely straightening his leg like the right leg and every once in a while his leg will give out. i don t see any swelling and when i examine it he doesn t wince in pain. is it a slight hyperextension? or strain?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.
I know that you are very concerned about your child but don’t worry.

By what you quote it seems that the child probably has got strain at knee region. You should do an X ray knee of child to rule out fracture.
Apply pain reliever spray at the site of strain. ask child to take some rest.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.

If you have any more questions, you can ask me at
