Suggest Treatment For Spine Injury In A 6 Years Old Child
my daughter just hit her mid spine on the edge of a futon couch. She said she couldn't walk for a couple minutes, now she can, but she said her right arm is hurting and tingling just minutes after she hit her spine. Is this serious? She is 6 years old.

Hi
Right arm doesn't seem to be hurting due to midspine trauma you described. Although, it might be due to direct trauma. Check for any localised pain or restricted movement to rule out internal injury of arm or spine..If not present, try Syrup Ibugesic 5 no thrice a day.
If you find non relief of pain do visit your GP. An X Ray examination can help.
