What Can Be The Symptoms Of Fracture?
My 6 year old son fell on his wrist two days ago no swelling, but lots of pain. He has since been unable to have full ROM. I noticed tonight swelling, slight discoloration and a module on his wrist when I touched it he immediately began to cry. Is this a possible fracture and should I bring him to the er?

hello Thank you for writing us here.
Fractures in children are less common due to the flexibility of their bones. It possibly could be an injury to the tendon. You can use diclophenac sodium gel for pain relief and immobilization is required. Wrist stabilizers are available in market which you can use for the little chile. He would be alright in a couple of weeks.
God bless you and the little child.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
