My 3 year old tripped running yesterday and all day today and yesterday has been crying and complaining of her right heel hurting I havent noticed any swelling but shes not putting a lot of pressure on it and is limping...what could it be and should I take her to doctor and have it looked out with her only being 3?
Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor. Sine you have mentioned that you have not noticed any swelling over her ankle, there is nothing to worry about. Quite likely that your 3 yr old must have sprained her ankle but that shouldn't worry you much.I would suggest that you apply Broken gel locally over her ankle s that she has relief in pain and then apply a cr\u00eape bandage over her ankle. Make sure you don't apply it too tight over the ankle, and watch for any swelling or redness which she develops. If she does, seek medical attention immediately. Allow her to rest her ankle, don't strain by walking. She should be okay in a day or two. Hope this was helpful. Regards, Chat Doctor.
