My daughter did a leap in dance yesterday and landed hard on a flat foot. At the time, she experienced a pain that went up her body. Today she has pain up the right side of her body going up her leg to her lower back. Should I continue to rest her and alternate ice/heat for a day or two or does she need to go to a doctor now?
Hi, It could be due to contusion or sprain. Fracture is unlikely. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.  You can continue ice packs also. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. In that case you might require an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
