HI...if the elbow is also not moving, it may not be a simple clavicular fracture. There could be a displacement or dislocation at the elbow joint. I suggest you get in touch with an orthopedic surgeon experienced in pediatric cases. Clavicular fracture is self healing at this age and will heal in 6 - 8 weeks time.
